ODP: Parade

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Put on that smile

Step lively

Dance to the music provided

It’s a holiday parade!

Never look to the side

The people lying in the doorways

Focus on the balloons

Put your attention towards the revelry

Macy’s windows decorated

All envied happy scenes

Never mind the pain you see

The hopelessness, loneliness

As they gaze wantingly

To join in the celebration

They’ll be okay tomorrow

It’s just Christmas, just another day like all the rest.

Word of the Day: Royal

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Not feeling it, yep

But I took the right step-

Out.

Instead of wallowing

I’m up and swallowing-

Coffee.

A royal pain in the ass

How this word does pass-

Often.

This time of year

Can’t get into gear-

Waiting.

For what you may ask

Why not do the task-

Humbug.

Not usually a Scrooge

But black clouds are huge-

Lately.

Not my usual self

Trimmings stored on the shelf-

Waiting.

No Christmas mood

I actually feel rude-

Attitude.

It comes down to that

Can’t don an elf hat-

Disappointed.

So there I’ve said it

Wish I hadn’t meant it-

But I do.
