'Twas the week before Christmas and all through the house The adults were preparing after a triplet ultrasound The cribs from IKEA were assembled with care But we hoped that the babies would wait to be there The puppies were nestled all snug in their beds With no real idea what lay ahead So ma with her pillows and me with my throw Both settled down with iPads aglow When suddenly we realized the registries were a mess Cribs needed deleted, unavailable items addressed Away to the computer we moved in a dash Threw open the laptop and watched the screen flash The hourglass spun from an Internet slow A big sigh ma let out with a blow When what to my wondering eyes did arrive But five bars of access, just in time With little ol’ servers so lively and quick Target and Amazon worked with each click More rapid than eagles with cursors they moved We felt like we had found our groove Now onesies! Now boppies! Now diapers and wipes! On blankets! On, pillows! On toys for the tykes! To the edge of our town! To the mat at our door! Now bring the goods! Bring the goods! Straight from the store! So up to our house the items will come Amazon’s drones will ne’er be done – The lists on the registries seemed miles long But caring for babies is never wrong We spoke no more words, just went back to our chairs Knowing we’d finished with months to spare Being thankful for family and friends that we know We could rest for the holidays without woe As we watched the twinkling of our holiday lights We thought “Merry Christmas, and to all a good night!”
