Notes About The Poem

Image result for silly christmas cartoons

Ball Talk

Once a year, we are out of that box and it's always the same, never stops, Old Shiny Red Al just talks and talks. For a year, we snuggled our hook tops, but, our old Al fakes memory blocks. Rather than Christmas therapy swaps, may I clang him in his glossy chops?

So you bounced over here, to Ball Talk? I saw and came cause I couldn't remember the poem, only the contest gist. I've concluded we all let our jewels gather dust way too fast on our individual poem list that grabs them to back shelf them. It is the way of it. (just a Libra debate because.) You have the warmest smile, it brightens me, as do all your visits, Susan. Poetry hugs ... CayCay (I'm going to visit your list, then it is off to nighty night. Sleep deep in lovely dreams.)

Very well written and apt yes. For our Christmas we adorn it with a costume. The tree is the shadiest one and we go for a swim . Prefer cold meats and salad. As a kid we used to put cotton wool on the trees . We always tried to imitate the northern hemisphere but its crazy to think of snow and woolen father chrïstmas suits when its 42 degrees Celcius

That was funny, it had me laughing. Old Al just never shuts up. What a great take on the cartoon prompt. Really humorous CayCay.

LOL, Cay, (replying) I did laugh out loud, never thought the life of a Christmas was just to hang around without question. I enjoyed the cartoon as well, Hooked like an addict. I thank you so much for the reply. Love LINDA

LOL, I like the cartoon that goes with the poem. I think every ornament plays an important role on my tree. A treat to read... LINDA

You are here! I just now found you there, and wrote how glad I was to see your face again. You seem well and upbeat! My ornaments are sentimental, too - well, for the most part. I hope you laughed out loud, I know that would be a delightful sound. Again, so good to see you ... CayCay
