Best Holidays Poems

Never had a Christmas tree
  or some mistletoe
No wreath of holly on my door
  just a mezuzah there, you know

No stockings stuffed with candy canes
  or Christmas decorations
Never sang a hymn to Jesus
  Torah's my inspiration 

Yet just as Christians can...

Hope you are all healthy and happy and not feeling too blue
We all enjoy the flavors of soup until someone stirs up the stew

Jan still entertains...

HOLIDAYS-- Cinqku


Midnight
black Friday
turkey burping
tryptophan tornado
red ink

Church bells
echoing
remembrances
disturb the secular -
rebirth

     Times when families get together,
     it can be in Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter weather.

HOLIDAYS ARE...
     Days filled with relaxation and rest,
     and all the feasting that...

Nippy air bites the skin, sunlight trails off in a sky so morose;  
bare trees contemplate the yellow grass below mourning their lost splendor;
be that messenger of the Season's Greetings and avoid being sad and alone...
welcome to my holiday home at this special time...

The icicles that grow for years
and slowly cry then drop and die
in liquid pools of frozen tears.

The pain that builds within a lie;
lives that wait for want of love
and slowly cry then drop and die.

Prayers for kind hearts undreamt of
in a world of cold despair;
lives...

It's that time of year-
Holidays are near!
First will come Thanksgiving Day;
families all meet-
round the table, eat!
Thankfully, join hands and pray.

Then, comes Christmastime!
Happy bells soon chime
welcoming peace and goodwill.
Sharing gifts with love;
thanking God above
for these blessings which fulfill!

The bright Christmas lights on my city house are so colorful and traditional,
hopefully when I get my high utility bill I won't become too irrational,
and watching everyone open up their gifts makes me want to sigh,
also hoping that when I get the credit card bills...

Santa, weighed four hundred lbs at his yearly check up.
"The Kids bribe me Dr, with Burgers, fries and ketchup." 
Dr said, " That's a lame excuse,
your eating habits, you abused!"
"Doc, the reindeer are mad, I'm too fat, and they can't take off!"


Why don't you see...

Christmas eaves’ drop - red and green leaves of pre-December.
The snow-white clouds, the beard of Santa Claus’ pre-remember.
The elves are surely hammering
whilst Mrs. Claus is yammering.
The yawning of maples and oaks ‘fore their pre-sugar-plum dream.
Boughs with wrappings held high in the pre-burr of holiday theme.
The...

Why couldn't the lizard get married and have children?
Because he had Reptile Dysfunction.

Two men broke into a drug store and stole all the Viagra.
The police put out an alert, to be on the lookout for two
Hardened criminals.

Why does it take a 100 million sperms to...

My room is a mess - it's an archaeological record of boredom.
Christmas, Christmas, come on Christmas.
It's 4 days 'til Christmas. Why don't I go to my room and do NOTHING??

The clock ticking sounds like a large horse clomping over cobble stones. 
Last year there were...

I know I promised
 no more ‘Make you Cry Poems’
I said I'd never write another 
‘Wipe your eye poem’

 And for three years 
I tried not to retract, 
but after so many tears 
I have to take that promise back. 

I write this Thesis 
after...
