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!

Limerick Time

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!

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.🥳🎉🎊💚❤️

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.

The Sunday Whirl

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.

Woeful Wolf

It was just for one night. Any noises would be drowned out by the tv Larry thought. He was hoping no one would hear. Larry’s old friend Joe had an accident about three years ago and since then Joe did not visit anyone, lived in the woods by himself. Unfortunately a mutual friend had a fatal heart attack and the two friends were getting together after the funeral. All the guys were watching tv together talking about younger years. Suddenly Joe sat up and went outside. Larry knew what was going on and turned up the television. A wolf sounding howl came from the wooded area and grew fainter as the night went on. The men were puzzled but just figured Joe was more upset about losing this friend. The next morning Joe was sitting on the couch normally.
