The Bag Lady

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.

A song you could sing with or karaoke:

30 Day Song Challenge – Day 1

A song about alcohol or drugs:

First thought, haunting melody of JJ Cale’s “Cocaine”.

30 Day Song Challenge – Day 1

Dear Santa,

I can think of many things but being the naughty person I am, I’m only asking for one thing, but it has to last for 2 1/2 years, please!

A pair of nonremovable thick gloves for our dear sweet president so he may not tweet again.

Writing this I sort of feel childish

Asking for anything I would wish

For myself couldn’t be more plain

A long ride on a very short train

My destination remains untold

But reaching it, I would be bold

To step right off, my heart in hand

To see you in person, hold your hand

A simple request to the powers that be

If you want to grant it, please feel free!

♡♡♡

Wish – Word of the Day Challenge

Looking through the cracked windshield of my grandson’s car on our way home last night.

Sounds of horse drawn sleighs clopping by, softened by the cold white padding. Midday lanterns standing guard, resting till dusk, while an out of time telephone booth awaits the next adventurer. I am here. I open the glass door in amazement, seeing the long forgotten beauty of quietly drifted snow. I step into the cobbled street and find a lively pub for a hot cup of tea. Celebrating an old English Christmas this year.

A relationship at an intersection

Lasting love, is there a connection

Cupid make your arrow straight

Do these lovers really feel your fate

Or is it merely intermittent

Afraid of that long commitment

Cupid, it’s up to you or Aphrodite

Frigate, Juno, Hera, or Parvati

Do your worst or do your best

Love is always a permanent test

♥️

A song you like better sung by a cover artist:

“Chandelier” originally sung by Sia but I love this version by Jordan Smith:

I found the perfect present for anyone on your list! ; ))
