Christmas Forgotten

The scales fell from her eyes,
noting the floor, as they
bounced up to drum her ear,
hammering in a minor key, perhaps em dash instead of comma for a longer line break here
but through it all, the tinkling
silver bell, she could not hear.  could do without the comma on this line, I think
For to hear, one must believe,
and she was too savvy and too perhaps the second "too" could begin the next line
smart to ever be deceived!  nice near rhyme with the second line above

In basic critique:  aside from the suggestions and notes above, a nice progression from chaos of musical terms to that missing element.  (I couldn't help thinking of the too-savvy lady missing an angel receiving his wings per "Wonderful Life" because, you know, who *really* believes in angels?)
