Decorations This Holiday

Buy rum and eggnog Buy the decorations Decorations to put up Decorations to light up Up **** creek Up on the roof Rooftop Santa Rooftop sleigh Sleigh bells ring Sleigh and reindeer Reindeer eat Reindeer crap Crap to shovel Crap to do Do not drink Do not fall Fall off the wagon Fall down the chimney Chimney ashes Chimney soot Soot on face Soot on hands Hands me a towel Hands me drinks Drinks too much Drinks my lunch Lunch is served Lunch of cookies Cookies crumble Cookies need milk Milk the reindeer Milk the job Job is a pain Job for a holiday Holiday gift Holiday wish Wish in one hand Wish away the day Day is flying Day of reckon Reckon I will have another Reckon I am drunk Drunk on Christmas Drunk on love Love hurts Love this holiday Holiday eggnog Holiday cheers Cheers... Eggnog... Written 11/28/17 for Contest Blitzing Christmas Hosted by taai tekai

Took a while, but at last I managed to find a poem which I had missed, Rhoda! Have been entertained by this Blitz:) Being drunk on Christmas and love makes a good combination for this time of year! Your witty pen has been at it again:) ~ Warm regards // paul

Lol. Thanks, Dear. Haven't entered the contest yet as it requires an attached audio read. I'm not sure my readers are quite ready for that just yet. Ha!

Nicely done, Rhoda, your blitz flowed very smoothly from beginning to end. When I saw the format I didn't even attempt to write one! Best of luck in the contest. John

The blitz is something else! Putting the words together required much erasing and the extra requirement for the title was a bit maddening, but hey, I did it. Once. Lol. Thank you for your wonderful comment

Thank you very much, Eve. I had never written one until I saw the contest and had to try it. Quite difficult and it very well may be my first and last attempt. Lol. Thank you for your encouragement and kindness.
