No worries!
Just hurry and
Join the fun
Have a seat,
In the sun!

“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?

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

Frosty the Snowman
Delivering the ultimate plan
For the holiday fan
From here to Milan
Doing the holiday can-can
Just because, he can

Anticipation for the Daily Post (four)

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!”

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!”
