Premium MemberHoliday Limericks


Poor Mrs.Lotty became so confused,
But because of her age she's excused.
She adores decorating.
But what she is creating,
Has the neighborhood somewhat amused.

On Halloween she put up her trèe.
There were ghosts in the nativity!
Santa wore a pilgrim hat,
The tree topper was a bat!
None could fault her creativity.

The wreath made of fall leaves on the door,
Was decked out

Premium Memberall we need now

Would you like seeing swan lake on a cake?
I did not understand and quickly said “no.”
The icing looked like a frozen reflective lake.
Now all we need is a ballerina and snow

Premium Membergoldfish decorating contest

Goldfish were in a decorating contest this week
They painted their scales in patterns that peek
Outdoing each other in swirls, lines, shapes and dots.
I saw them as far away as twelve hundred knots.

Premium Memberdecorating a Christmas Cat

we decorated the living room, bathrooms, bedrooms and TV
Threw tinsel on the ceiling, decorated the toilet with pure glee.
Christmas comes but once a year, so we do it up the best we can.
The cat was hiding from the festivities behind a big blue fan.

“There he is!” a grandchild cried, and the chase was on.
They chased

Decorating For Christmas

It's the second week of December.
Christmas of course is my first thought
and the cards I should be writing instead of this.
Unwrapped gifts are over-running the closet
so I can't find my shoes.

I must get out my Santa collection, 
my grandson has asked twice already 
remembering some from last year that I don't.
He keeps re-arranging my display

In front the house
Two big Maple Trees stand out
Suddenly an idea

Decorate both trees
Lights were wand around the trees
Instead of doing bushes

Rescue me from boughs of folly
Tra la la la la, such misery
‘Tis the time to make most jolly
Tra la la la, la, it’s blizzardly.
Heavy coats and boots we’re wearin’

Premium MemberThe Fireflies

That night we went to the Selangor River
We saw a lot of fireflies on the bushes
Amidst the far stretched deep darkness
Like the many bulbs on the Christmas trees
While one or two rested on the water 
Drifting along happily with the river 
One flew into our boat 
Making us stayed starkly silent
As silent as the darkness

Twas Christmas 2002

‘Twas December, two thousand two;
Christmas, of course, and my main thought -
Decking the halls on Tye Avenue.

With a broken leg, I’m in a stew,  
my house, the only bare spot.
‘Twas December, two thousand two.

Grandkids, my volunteer work crew,
tied my heart in a granny knot.  
decking the halls on Tye Avenue.

Porch lights strung, manger

Premium MemberDecorating the Home For Christmas

On the fireplace floor spread
One wooden tree Santa and deer
The top of the mantel stands
Four nutcrackers one very tall
Two are the same height short
Lights placed on the bottom lit4e

A Christmas tree decorated 
From top to bottom 
With lights red and white
then red and green balls
Two red bids are hung
Followed by white beads

Premium MemberPolka Dots Stripes and Flowers

1967.
My twin and I were allowed to choose paints
and wallpapers for our joint room. 
I insisted on stripes and polka dots.
My sister wanted old-fashioned flowers.
Our mother settled it.
One wall each and one plain wall.
In lavenders, purples and turquoise.
Setting a new trend in small town Iowa.
The next year empire waist dresses came out
With polka dotted bodices

Premium MemberDecorating the House Outside

Before the snow  spreads
Or it gets colder outside
Everyone decides to trim
Their homes on the outside
If they have bushes lights 
would be put onto bushes
Or a bare tree dressed in 
colorful lights
Some lights would be red-
green,white,blue
Others would be red, green
All on a bare naked tree
These lights would be shinning
All houses on the street
Decorated in their

Everyone oohing and ahhing over another blah house
Decorated so wonderfully. What? Are you kidding? Nothing special.
Boring at best. Blah. Tans and browns.  Excuse me. Apricot and almonds.
Sheesh!  

Decorating. A multi-million dollar business.  Every house the same as the last five.
I cannot ooh or awe.  I sit in disbelief that people are
