green eggs on gravestones
with Easter baskets for two
I wonder aloud...

Buy rum and eggnog
Buy the decorations
Decorations to put up
Decorations to light up
Up **** creek
Up on the roof
Rooftop Santa
Rooftop sleigh
Sleigh bells ring
Sleigh and reindeer
Reindeer eat
Reindeer crap
Crap to shovel
Crap to do
Do not drink
Do not fall
Fall off the wagon
Fall down the chimney
Chimney ashes 
Chimney soot
Soot on face
Soot on...

The wooden skull and pumpkins
Dangle neatly by the door.
The ghost and owl made of felt
Add much to the decor.

The cat and witch are wishing all
A Happy Halloween
And soon a jack-o-lantern will
Give credence to the scene.

The skeleton quite jauntily
Holds court while on his perch.
The scary part...

My neighborhood is decorated with festive lights,
Large inflatable santas, snowmen, and nativity scenes
Glittering plastic icicles drip from front porch eaves,
A wide-eyed Martian would wonder what it all means.
A Frosty the Snowman, as big as a Greyhound bus,
Is bobbing and weaving, to and fro, with dramatic...

Those Horrible Christmas Decorations

By Elton Camp

I’ve never put up a single one of ’em
But some neighbors did a ton of ’em

Garish, flashing lights of red & green
The most tacky that I’ve ever seen

Fake icicles hanging from the eave
Are almost too cheesy to believe

Plastic reindeer on...

Another spring season of love has emerged,
Her eyes have turned to blue lakes merged;
Like the assertion of heavenly angel’s wing;
Birds of love; their voice may rise to sing;
The ocean has deepened with full of pearls,
Her sweat has melted into salt of life souls;
Stones were sharpened...

A spotlight casting green and red,
swirling on the front of a house,
really confuses the poor dog
at night when he has to go out.

A retro tree, with fifties flare,
hoops of white light against the dim,
speaks to fictional simple times
when the world didn’t seem so grim.

I watch the neighborhood light up their houses
   in colorful displays
   of white and multicolor marvels.

Decorations blink and glow
   brightening the night
   and illuminating the darkness.

For some, lights are not enough
   and along the grass...

If you’re looking for yuletide cynicism here,
you’re shopping in the wrong place.

This is New York City’s time of year.
It’s stood the test of time and it fairly sparkles,
proving that the ordinary can be extraordinary.
With the right lighting.

Lisa’s (parent’s) apartment glitters like our promised heaven on...

Christmas

The decorations are up and the tree is lit
The turkey is croaked and the sprouts are split
The tellies warmed and the bar is open
It’s Christmas again I've got my gift token

The wife’s supine trying out her yoga mat
My favourite films on, but we can’t find...

This time of the year
when the cannas sadly droop,
Ma is saving kitchen scraps
from recent repasts
for a hearty winter soup,
and decorations go up.

Too early I think
with the Christmas ornaments
for commercial purposes
slighting Halloween
and Thanksgiving gatherings.
I shall complain bitterly.

No one will listen!
Some say I am Mister Scrooge
I can...

Santa Claus is coming.
This isn’t a luck situation.
He knows things, like if you’re sleeping.
Which is kind of creepy if you think about it.
I suppose I’m an open book.
It’s an implacable reality.

oops, better rhyme something.. let’s see..

“Santa, that elf commanda
will bring you all a panda
fresh from...

Well the shoppers are all out 
Already in costume wandering about
Buying up candy and chocolate bars
Trick or treating under the stars

What will the costumes be this year?
Make us laugh and bring some cheer
Some of the yards will be quite frightening
And some will be...
