Okay, everybody up!

But mommmmmm, it’s school break!

Up and at em, were going to sing carols today at the old folks home.

Again? We do this every year on our first day of Christmas break! Can’t we wait?

It’s a rare opportunity we have to bring such joy to others. This might be the climax of your whole vacation! Remember last year when we saw tears in the eyes of the people listening?

Yeah, it was sad and happy all at once. They really loved it, and we got lots of hugs. I guess they miss their own grandkids.

Exactly, it’s so worthwhile, now bundle up, baby, it’s cold outside!

The outside is what you see, perceive

My real inside would not bring relief

Hidden thoughts of mine might not inspire

They’re not what you want, require

You want bravado seen

Real me hides under green.

The first wordsmith I introduced to my children was Dr. Seuss, who had a lesson in every quirky character’s story, expanding their ideas of perception and the “norm”. Learning to read was fun instead of the first school primers (Dick and Jane) I had as a child.

We don’t need to read this, we’re living it!

One-Liner Wednesday – You know you’re a nerd when …

Where’s the candles

For the menorah

I’ve asked dad,

You ask Nora

🕎

It was all sitting here

Neat as can be

I set it all up

Even the tree!

🌳

Look under the table

Or in the closet

It must be somewhere

Oh no, look, a deposit!

🐾

Goblins have been here

Left us a treat

Tiny footprints

From their muddy feet

🍄

They must have come from the garden display

There was no snow, it’s been raining all day.

Gather your umbrellas and mittens you’ll need

We’ll search out the garden and items retrieve.

An ocean of documents

Coming to us live

Newsroom cluttered

Reporters snuffed

Lies hang in the balance

Pools of dribble and discontent

Where is the truth

It won’t set him free.

Frozen in time

Your loving embrace

Strong holds, firm but flexible

Scents of favorite aftershave

Soft creamy flannel shirts

Hands tanned with plain gold band

Holidays bring memories.

Snow globes need a sway

White flakes dancing render joy

Melodies enhance

Holiday time memories

Childhood’s face is shown again

❄️❄️❄️❄️

Flip the switch

Snowballs fall around

You can hear

The holiday sounds.

❄️❄️❄️

Snow globes, from elegant glass domes or the 99 cent little plastic forms, all bring the same amount of joy.🥰

Come lay with me

Surrender to my side

Close your arms around me

Let’s forget our pride

Hold me all forever

Time means nothing here

We’ll melt into each other

Together we’ve no fear.
