Something Is Better

They all grabbed the light string
They all plugged it in
And it lit up each Christmas
Again and again
Then, one year, a flash
Said goodbye to a light
And because of that bulb
The string wouldn't work right
And they all stood above it
With tight furrowed brows
Not entirely sure
What to do with it now
So they hung it regardless
By nails on the wall
Because something was better
Than nothing at all
