Premium Member News, Bah, Humbug
News, Bah, Humbug Miracle Man 1/16/2025 I was watching commercials and was interrupted by news. Read by opinionated anchors with vastly dissenting views. It set me to quietly thinking which view, if any, might be true. Would this be the morning I saw truth makes it’s debut. Each channel I turned to gave it’s own political slant. But before news time ended they would quickly recant. Then it’s back to...

Bah Humbug - A Grumpy Carol
Two days before Christmas Finally, it is near I’m so sick of the chatter and all the cheer Smiling faces, warm hearts, and hugs I can only think of one thing, Bah Humbug Everyone joyous and being extra kind One would think they have lost their mind Red and green decorations everywhere Gold or silver tinsel, I don’t care Houses all covered in lights Attacked...

Toto uncurtained Oz's stagey play, his humbug wizardry didn't go astray. In a balloon he vanished, lone Dorothy felt banished, on silver shoes she flew home all the way. ...

Come soon, at the end of this year, the new one will follow- with drear for promises to change things I will do; resolve to step up brings on fear! It seems this is doomed to work out! I make my list- then, with no doubt a month may go by with changes, comply- but soon after, know I will pout! My promises all go...

Illusion
Illusion It looks like what it is not It's not always what it seems All that glitters is not gold Though it's summer, some feel cold At the point dream meets reality Reality may become an illusion It leaves me blinded in oblivion Until I say my opinion We live in a world of illusion I've seen blind folks with vision Mirror images give lateral inversion Yet...

The turkey and the goose are fat Share them with your dog or cat For COVID’s here, and just like that Christmas, this year, just went splat If the snow lies crisp and even Do not visit uncle Stephen For when the snow lies round about They will know if you’ve been out. It’s jingle jingle, don’t you mingle Isolate and stay home single Sit...

Bah Humbug
Been off work since twelve nineteen Should be happy Some say But I don't look at it that way I know in the back of my mind The work on my desk is piling up You would think A co-worker would help me out But every year They don't have the holiday spirit And never go near it So instead of enjoying my time off I calendar...

Here we go again, I’ll have to count to ten, It’s Christmas time once more, Christmas songs ‘n every store. It’s bound to cost a mint It’s gunna make me skint And all for just one day Please make it go away! The wife’s all in a tizz I’ve forgotten the Buck’s Fizz And the Christmas tree’s not right Not straight when it’s upright. And...

Ah yes, the joys of Christmas Excuse me if, I seem a little listless Just thinking about, all of the work Turns my smile into a smirk Carrying boxes, moving things around That fake tree weighs a hundred pounds Untangling lights, that came unwound The headache caused is quite profound Assemble the tree. What fun! I guess? Unwrapping ornaments, damn what a mess Decorate the...

Bah! Humbug! It’s that time of year; I can’t understand the reason why everyone is so full of cheer just because it’s the Christmas season. The traffic on the street is horrendous, like a snail, moving at a slow crawl; the shopping crowds tremendous, no parking spaces at the mall. The weather outside is terrible; it is cold and dreary and bleak; so cold...

Halloween Humbug
Around the dank and dreary walls the howling wind does scream, And as the rain begins to fall you’ll know its Halloween, The lightening strikes and mist will form and round the town it swirls, And dressed as goblins, ghosts and ghouls will come the boys and girls. In voices shrill and high with glee they shout out ‘trick...
