“December’s wintery breath is already clouding the pond, frosting the pane, obscuring summer’s memory…” John Geddes
December The First
December the first
Came with a burst
A sunrise most gorgeous
It’s almost flirtatious
Come what may
December made its way
Holiday season upon us
With sunshine in abundance

“Man, I really love Vegas” Elvis Presley
“Elvis has left the Konebuilding”
Jingle bells a-rocking
Elvis comes a-knocking
Gold lamé suit
Dancing to no ones’ flute
A real cool dude
Definitely no prude
Rocking around
The Christmas tree
To a cool sound
And and impish glee
Twist and shout
No time to pout
The jingle bells
Put their spells
Now the rest of us
Mere mortals of dust
Jamming with the king
And wholehearted sing
But oh how time flies
Now it is time to say
Our fondest good byes
Flying back to the skies
“Ladies and Gents,
Elvis, has left the (Kone)building”

& In honour of the month of December
If it’s December 1941 in Casablanca, what time is it in New York?” Howard E. Koch
Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-12-01
This week’s Tuesday quote seemed appropriate for the occasion. After all, today is December first, and just yesterday, it was summer, oh what a bummer?
Time flies when you are having fun?
Or is it just another pun?
Hoping to see the sun
Even though it’s December one
“How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before its afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flown. How did it get so late so soon?”
Dr. Seuss

And, yet another homage to Coffee ;P
“I can’t imagine a day without coffee. I can’t imagine!” Howard Schultz
Monday with(out) Coffee
What is a Monday
But a slow day of Sunday
Without coffee
It’s just a faded copy
It’s just what you seek
So, don’t hesitate
Go ahead, start the week
With a fresh, clean slate
Make your way
To the coffee maker
For a while stay
After all,
You deserved a break
“Come to the dark side, we have coffee”
Not without my Coffee
I freely admit it
I am addicted
To the finest organic suspension
One of the greatest inventions
Coffee
If gets me up in the morning
So read this forewarning
To save yourself from scorning
Do not get between me and my
Coffee
If you want your day
To be inventive and stay
On top of the world
Life delightfully twirled
Coffee
Take my advice
Don’t think twice
Pour yourself a cup of java
It beats the hell out of guava
Coffee
Your fellow human kind
Never looked so fine
The world filled with love
If everyone joined in a cup of
Coffee

Then there were two
Only remaining
A single one
Nothing to be done
The time for Winter
Has finally come

“Believe in love. Believe in magic. Hell, believe in Santa Claus. Believe in others. Believe in yourself. Believe in your dreams. If you don’t, who will?” Jon Bon Jovi
A Visit to Father Christmas
The jolly Saint Nick
For some, Father Christmas
To others, Santa Claus
Call him what you will
You will always get your fill
Of happy thoughts and enjoyment
And possibly a nice payment
On Christmas Eve
If you only believe
In honour of the month of November

“So. Monday. We meet again. We will never be friends—but maybe we can move past our mutual enmity toward a more-positive partnership.” Julio Alexi Genao
Last Day of November
Last day of November
Wishing it was still September
Or at least a snowy day in December
Rain, rain, rain
Some more rain
Feelings of mundane
Starting to sink in
Dull, dark, dreary
Nature somewhat eerie
The sun coming out rarely
Hanging in there barely
Last ones of leaves
In the barest of trees
Holding on for dear life
Existence one big strife
Then, something unexpected
When you least expected
A beam of light reflected
On the dark surface
Could it be?
Is it possibly…
Sunlight?

Part Four: Winter
“In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer” Albert Camus
Winter
Brightness surrounding
Snow’s blanket covers all
Feeling my heart pounding
Cannot help but feeling small
The world seemingly wider
Nothing, but snow as a divider

Part Three: November
“November always seemed to me the Norway of the year” Emily Dickinson
November
Endless darkness has fallen
The sun elsewhere been stolen
Searching for a bright spot
Is like trying to change the plot
