A Visit to the North Pole

Posted in Holiday Celebration

“O, how glorious would it be to set my heel upon the Pole and turn myself 360 degrees in a second!”
Joseph Banks

A Visit to the North Pole

visit-1

A quick trip
To the North Pole
A little hop and skip
To the beat of the drum roll

The elves busy at work
Their faces in a permanent smirk
No time for breaks or coffee
Not even a little toffee

The holiday season is upon us
Which has caused all the fuss
Be careful where you step though
You may end up in a pile of snow

Santa’s sleigh
Without delay
Flying over the river
Presents to deliver

Hitch a ride
In a blink of an eye
You’ll be landing
At the front door standing

Was it a dream
So it would seem
But then again
Life is but a dream

Whales Ahead

“Hop on
Hop off”
The seller scoffed
Waving us to board

Not knowing what was in store
Anticipation
Hesitation
Finally at sea
And nowhere to flee
The boat shook

“Oh, look!
Thar be whales here!”

Anticipation for the Daily Post

Up the River

Up the Swanee River
In anticipation
Awaiting
What the waters will deliver
Will it be dengue fever?
Will there be falling timber?
A very cold winter?
Maybe Long John Silver?
Never mind,
We are still awaiting
In anticipation
What the waters will deliver

Ship Ahoy!

Ship ahoy!
This is not a ploy
But the real McCoy
We even invited Floyd
And now,
We are ready to deploy
On a trip of joy!

Lift-Off

With growing anticipation
Waiting to leave this station
Without any hesitation
Travelling across the nation
In one big celebration

But…

“What is the hold up?
We are ready for lift off!”
