** A Very Memorable Christmas Present **

Someone made an err::
Boxing Day ‘ere’s 
Been the day of — not after.
What started as the greatest 
Christmas ever, turned 
Us from better to worse
As our tempers grew, altered 
After our fingers were slid into
Those gift-wrapped firm gloves of...

Wrapped

With thought,

One present ...

Meant just for me,

And arranged lovingly under the tree.

So pretty, tied bright with ribbons and bows ...

It's all I want

This wintry

Christmas -

You.



You,

Alone ...

Velvet skin,

Bow lips, teasing ...

Ribbons of silken tresses decorate ...

Oh, what wondrous magic must lay inside!

Yet sweeter, still,

To open

Very ...

Slow.



Yet,

A Christmas Present

Peeling back the memories and peering inside

 

I feel wrought with pain seeing you alone on the bar stool and the glass half-full of whiskey

 

I look at the presents  sitting untouched and waiting under the tree

 

It's been fifty  years...

Terrence the Turkey was feeling quite perky
Passing time in his rafter and doing no harm
No fighting nor squabbling, just gabbling and gobbling
Turkey talking turkey down on the farm.

Whilst having a natter, tame turkey type chatter
Before his two eyes his mate Thomas got nabbed
His shocked first...

A spider spun a silver web 
in a mound of golden straw, 
Then he hid himself inside the stack, 
away from the wind so raw. 

He yelled down to the sheep below 
Who were trying to huddle close, 
“It’s times like this that I wish...

 A precious gift appeared on my doorstep, it is one that I adore
My son has come home for Christmas – I can’t wish for anything more!

Her father gave her a burial blot
(Not jewellery or clothes or a yacht!)
When Debbie’s interred low
Will they add a gift bow
Still for now it’s a gift she’ll boycott!

I read this article on-line from the ‘Mirror’ newspaper and I couldn’t resist writing a limerick about it.

A Terrific Christmas Present

By Elton Camp

A toy assault rifle is just simply the best
Parental approval of killing is expressed

There’s one purpose for this type gun
If the user thinks murder of people is fun

For hunting this weapon can’t be used
As if for self-defense it can’t be...

Long ago I recalled,
On my prayer mat I sat with my hands raised up to the skies in supplication
To thee thy Lord I prayed
Astray I am gone without thee, most high is Thee, show me thy light
A light of guidance and love
And indeed to my...

For the last two Christmases, I have grieved.
But in 2012 my friend gave me the best Christmas present that I've ever received.
She gave me a ride to Sneedville so that I could spend Christmas with Mom and Dad.
I was a very fortunate person but sadly,...

On the night of Eve in our home in the Heights, 
I strung all the tinsel and turned on all the lights.
The puppy was sound asleep and Ella was snoring, 
my hubby was watching football, so boring. 
I decided to go outside to see the...

I had by no means celebrated Christmas in the past with such love
                  Until thy lord presented thee to me on Christmas Eve

'Christmas present shopping'

I took myself home through the shops
To get ideas you see
I knew I wouldn't last that long
Bent back soon breaking me
*****
Shoppers happy, excited smiles
Five minutes in for me is miles
Try on shoes just for the seat
As rest already warn out feet
Legs drag heavy,...

Blame myself, watching you walk away.
Tears run down quivering lips and stinging eyes. 
It’s a feeling not unknown,
It’s a feeling which I know all too well. 
	
You changed to fit in.
With the description that other people wrote for you. 
You forget who you were meant...
