Oh no, put out that fire!
Don’t want to burn Santa’s attire…
I know you say he’s magical
All spirit and love will be reciprocal
But I tell you now
You can’t allow
The chimney’s hot coals and smoke
He may choose to revoke
Stopping on your snowy roof
I’m kidding you, just a spoof
It’s a joke with no reason
Celebrating the holiday season.
Happy Holidays!

#TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge No. 44, Holidays, 12/23/2025
Just a moment on Christmas Eve
To say what we all believe
Our prez is ruthless, heartless and uncaring
Only likes money and gold surroundings
Midas has nothing on him
Putting up plaques he said on a whim.
Oh Santa hear our plea
Send T out with all the used trees!

One-Liner Wednesday – All I want for Christmas…
My effort:
a sleigh now needed
deep snow beautifully draped
trail to home submerged
a sparkling of white stars
such winter scene perfection

#Easy Peasy Writes – 12/24/25
There once was a girl named Holly
Spent her vacations in Bali
Too much time on the beach
Her bank account now leached
When she got home was not jolly.
***
Strategically placing holly
His wife also nude used ivy
They dressed for the party
The vines started smarting
Ripped vines off, crowd yelled oh golly!

Laughing Along With A Limerick
You could make the bitter batter better using butter. Of course, butter makes all baking better! The flavor is needed for baking cookies or cakes or pies. At least that’s my opinion😀 I will have the pleasure and fun on Sunday when my granddaughter joins me for baking. I also found an old fudge recipe I want to try. I don’t care for the easy/quick marshmallow soft type. We’ll probably make molasses, sugar and peanut butter cookies. We might decorate a few of them. But nothing like past years – 🙄🤓💚❤️. It was lots of work, but fun though!
Update, yes we made sugar cookies my granddaughter, grandson and couple friends, laughed a lot, got frosting all over. A mixer bit the dust but cookies were good.🥳🎉🎊💚❤️

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Dec. 20, 2025
It wasn’t me, I swear it so
I was outside, I love the snow
See my paws are wet and cold
And I always do as I’m told.
What a mess, I’m sorry ‘bout that
It might have been the neighbor’s cat
I’ve seen him try to come in
Not supposed to be visiting
What? You have a baby cam?
Video of a cat causing a tree slam?
You think it’s me, oh my dear
I could never get that near
The tree is pretty, love it so
And as I said I was out in snow.
Uh, okay, I saw a pretty bauble
Knew I’d get into trouble
I wanted to see the shine
Paw got stuck on its twine
And then down it came
I know, I have no shame.

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 12/23/2025
The starless sky, black and menacing, conjures demons and swallows any purity from white clouds or sparkling stars. There is no room for doubt that a third black night in a row is kindling secrets no one wants to know. In the blink of a mother’s eye, the youngest child in the village, once soft and cuddly, turns into a dragon, the skin adopts scales, usually in a dark green hue. Everyone hoped their child would not be the youngest in the next cycle of time. Huge wings would suddenly appear and fly the baby to their nesting home.
