Mrs Claus
Without applause
Doing her bid
Without a quid
Yuletide
Without the bride
Of Santa
Would be banter
No jolly
Or celebration folly
For me
Or you

Happy Holidays and A Very Merry Xmas to One and All!

“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

Happy Holidays and A Very Merry Xmas to One and All!

img_2069

‘Twas the night before Christmas
Nothing stirred,
No sound was heard
No human, nor animal, in sight
Even the mice had taken flight
The only ones about their business
Were the little green men from Mars
They had to be really careful
Their nature a little bit fearful
For the holidays not to turn into a farce
It was their turn to spread wholly
Presents and a great amounts of jolly

In a mighty hurry
No time for blurry
Their sleigh filled
Up to the hilt
As it took off
With a big bang
And a huge puff
As they all sang
The yuletide carols
As they rolled off

Children and grown-ups
Getting lots of stuff
As the little green men
Working collectively
Their derrières off in zen
As the Xmas spirit
Now duly delivered
All around the world
At least,
That is what we heard

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

“Life is but a dream”
Row row row your boat -song

Quote a Week Tuesday: 2016-08-30

For this week’s quote, something dreamy. Is it real or fantasy?
Or as the famous eightees comercial taught us: “Is it live or is it memorex?”

You decide:

“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream”
Edgar Allan Poe
