If you get the holiday blues
Don’t hang around alone and stew
Try to find the lost muse
Even in the decorative fuse
The shiny bright objects
May have a good affect
And sooner than later
You’re back exploring your prospects

Holiday Fable

To play out a holiday fable
A tale which happened in a stable
A long, long, long time ago…”

Eerie Suburbia on Mundane Monday

Posted in Mundane Monday : Photography /Poetry /Humour

“I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can”
Rufus Wainwright

Eerie Suburbia 

Early morning eerie,
Even a little scary,
Thought I saw a fairy
But it was just the neighbour’s Mary
On her way to the ferry

Mrs Claus

“Santa has it great. I buy all the toys. He gets all the credit.”

Mrs Claus

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

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet”
Napoleon Bonaparte

Seat in the Sun 

Didn’t get,
Too much done?
Competed,
But someone else won?
Feeling,
Like your phaser,
Is set on stun?

Deck the Halls (traditional song)

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la!

‘Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la!
Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la!
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la la la la!

See the blazing yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la!
Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la!

Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la!
While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la!

Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la la la la!
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la la la la!
Sing we joyous all together! Fa la la la la la la la!
Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la la la la!

“Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind.
To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy,
is to have the real spirit of Christmas”

Porridge

Rice in porridge?
Sounds completely foreign!
But for us Finns
Add some milk, sugar and cinnamon
And you got a win!

Angels and Elves

Angels and elves:
Where do they dwell?
Filling the shelves
Putting on spells
Ringing the holiday bells
Letting us know
All is now well
