Christmas Poem

For Christmas, my wife's sister is giving her newly married sister-in-law a gift basket with stuff in it to enjoy during their first Valentine's Day together as a couple. She wanted to add a poem to the card, but wanted me to write it. I only know very little about this newly married couple, so this posed to be a bit of a challenge. Still, it was kind of a fun activity. Here's what I came up with:

You two have been married for just a short time,
You’re still getting used to each other’s behinds.
They say that the first year is forever the hardest,
But look what together you’ve already accomplished.

You got through the summer without breaking a sweat,
Then Halloween and Thanksgiving like a sweet minuet.
Now Christmas is here, and you’re still strong as ever,
This is just the beginning of your eternal endeavor.

The New Year gives all a little time to reflect,
And sometimes that spawns an unpleasant effect.
What things might happen, come February?
Will what once were smooth legs become a bit hairy?

Will the pounds be packed on from all the food you devoured?
Will you even remember the last time you showered?
This gift is to help you not sink to that low,
So give it more time before you let yourself go.

For your first Valentine’s as an old married pair,
You must show the love that you equally share.
So when that day comes, don’t run around frantic,
Just use what’s been given to be a little romantic.
