My daughter’s been sick, this season, all week long, and today is her birthday. She was on vacation, what a spoiler. My youngest turned 40 today. Steroids, and now antibiotics. This kicks the rear of the last year. Pray that 2025 gives her all her heart desires through Jesus Christ.
*Batman was a tv show in the 1960’s. His sidekick would often exclaim such things as I have written in this poem.
Blustering snowballs, Batman,
it's cold enough to blubber
blast the titanic iceberg
from its frozen handshake.
But snowballs that ain’t
formed; fine powdery dust
billowing ‘neath the core, of not hell,
but the moat of the ice queen’s castle.
Frozen icicles, Batman,
drip from nostrils and lips,
welcoming a brew of nog to noggin,
or toddy for the torrential reality
of fastball bugs for tethered sleeves -
the season’s green sleeves.
A yuck of a holiday for some.
A hiccup and cheers to a New Year.
