A To Z of Partying - Ap

At Blitzen’s Christmas Dances Everyone Fields Glances
However, It Just Keeps Lecherous Men’s Nuances
Out Pacing Quietly Reserved Shy Things
Until Vodka Wields Xmas Yuletide Zings

Thanks Sam. If those stationery cupboards could talk what tales they would tell…. Shame I wouldn't be in any of them. Glad you enjoyed. Terry

Once, a firm I worked for had a Christmas party with a free bar. The place was heaving (it was a big firm) so to save repeated refills….. wait for it, wait for it… they were serving wine in pint glasses. I kid you not. I got home… don’t know how, or when, but I was there in the morning so I guess auto-pilot kicked in. Glad you enjoyed, Ann. Terry

I enjoyed the frankness of your writ, Terry, as some office party had no purpose to them or when they extend to nearby taverns! Until you're next day's gossip -- ahh, the purpose? My compliments on your placement in my contest, Aloha!

Thankyou, William, for settling my dilemma… XMAS is now officially a word! ;-) Terry

hey hey hey. I really like this! I hope it does not matter if we wrote across the lines or downward like I did it!!

Terry Flood

I doubt that matters, but (and i claim no level of genius for this unexpected result) have you noticed how your poem looks more symmetrical with the changed word. Glad you liked this, Andrea. Terry

Your poetry zinged me, lol

Well, you can’t beat a good zing-a-long at a party. Terry

Clever indeed! Well earned!

Terry Flood

November 6, 2021 at 12:24 PM

Thanks Rico… kept going at this thinking… there has to be an xyz to this… and finally sussed it. Hope I get away with ‘Xmas’, I’d say it’s 50/50. Terry

Brilliant Terry, this is the best I've seen. Good luck Tom

Thanks, Tom. Wasn’t worrying too much about rhyming at first, but couldn’t bring myself to submit it without at least an attempt at rhyming. Cheers Tom. Terry

Oh, wow...well, I reckon I can withdraw mine, eh? This is clever, cute, and makes perfect sense. Super good job, Terry!

Terry Flood

November 6, 2021 at 7:51 AM

Thanks, Milt. At first I misunderstood the remit and thought it had to be in alphabetical order. By the time I realised it could be in any order I had three attempts on the go, all of which were stuck on xyz. Glad you enjoyed this… cos it was starting to do my head in. Terry
