Notes About The Poem

?????????????????????? picture of ham for Christmas

Ham

Help! I’m salivating!
Happy carols, can’t sing,
Here’s Mama’s sweet presents,
Hail from Santa’s kitchen.
Hurray! Honey glazed whirl!
Hold your knife, fork, sing, drool… 
Ham-yummy Christmas, all!

It looks wonderful Leonora! That is just what we are having for Christmas dinner, Ham with guava jam. I enjoyed your tasty poem. Hope you are having a beautiful Christmas my friend! Love, Connie : ) 7

Wow! Guava jam? i think, that's great my dear friend Con! In fact, I'm not so much with Ham 'coz what I ate before was commercial. But when I saw the picture, it looked very delicious. Perhaps, it depends on condiments, ingredients and the cook.:) About my Christmas, I spent yesterday just cycling around giving simple gifts to friends and acquaintances. How about yours? Hope yours is a wonderful one too! Best wishes always with your family! Hugs!

I enjoyed the continuity of this wonderful Pleiades. They are bit difficult to write because of the syllable restrictions. You did really well! Brava! 7 ; )
