Jesting Joking Jovial and Jolly

Jesting without manifesting
Joking without spending or investing
Jovial and fair
Jolly times in the air
Living as I dare
Showing that I care

Words delight me, incite me,
Inspire and light me
Jesting, joking, jovial, and jolly
hickery dickery, dolly and holly
Jumping, twirling and swirling in my brain
If this were a song, I’d think up a refrain

there was a jolly old man from Dublin

there was a jolly old man from Dublin
drank way too much and home he went stublin`
a river he tried to cross 
only to slipped on the moss
now laughter never stops from the ducklin`

Jeepy Jappy Jumble Jolly Jee Jam

Abracadabra did not work for joy
Her references backed by Leroy Tolstoy
She threw the spells out and went with her soul
Succeeding with the monsters, her ultimate goal

Instinctive chants from her expanding diaphragm
Jeepy Jappy Jumble Jolly Jee Jam
She snapped her thumb and the elixir lit red hot
Neon green too, then it began to dance and trot

Slivers of light darted left and right through the air
She could feel empowerment from everywhere
Abracadabra might work for the others
But she needed direction from her ancestral mothers

The room began to hum, whistle and sing
Pink curtains were jumping, chandelier did swing
Jeepy Jappy Jumble Jolly Jee Jam was the perfect chant.
For 7th daughter of 7th daughter, witch Millicent.

A Jolly Folly Christmas

Cranberry garlands the Christmas tree
Piña empanadas and gifts of filigree 
Children’s faces aglow
Kissing ‘neath the mistletoe 
Midnight mass tradition with family

                             Flights have been cancelled call the hotels!                                        
                        Humbug to last minute changes and jingle bells                    
Lil black dress doesn’t fit
BYO Test My Drink Kit
It’s pub night with my standby drinking pals

Merry Christmas
Joyeux Noël
Feliz Navidad
Happy Hanukkah
Happy Kwanzaa!

Jolly Jill

Jill just can’t sit for one minute still;
In everything she wants some thrill!
One rainy evening she climbs a hill;
From there she slips making a shrill!
This results her fall straight into a rill;
She swallows water a gallon at her will! 
As her belly swells, she falls critically ill;		
The quack there tries on her every pill!
It costs them their farm to pay his bill!!

Jolly Jill

    Water brought by Jolly Jill.
     She wishes the jug to fill.
     Jug is becoming half- full.
     Hole at side, making her fool.

Jolly Trip

So it goes as it was planned, relatively fine
Or in case it isn’t, one can change the view
From the vast perspective of the God’s design
Aren’t we doing well what we’re able to
Or in case this world is a Devil’s creature
Everything's still better, than it might have been
Everyone performs what they have to feature
So it goes accordingly with the plan unseen
In the light of reason, though, mysteries cast out
Gods and devils gimmickry is a tale of ruse 
There's no plan considered, so we live without
Any higher guidance which might speak the truth
Welcome back to freedom, which was never free.  
Meet the right of free speech under censorship.
Implications altered, and it's plain to see 
The direction taken by this jolly trip.

Senior Jolly Follies

          12/2/2023

Oh, the excruciating job of finding
a comfortable pair of shoes!
And why do we fall asleep so darn 
early at night?

Driving after sundown is a fright!
Hey, gravity, stop pulling on my face!
There's a younger man I wish to date!

Desiring to dance like a sexy Sambista, 
but why does sitting seem to be my  fate.

Can you please help me bring the those
groceries in?
Stop staring at me~that's really no sin.

By the way, what's my cousin's phone 
number, I cannot recall.

Seniors to God, are close and very dear.
What's that you said, my dear?
So sorry, I cannot hear!

A Jolly Old Leprechaun

Eighty-eight years old and still going strong
Have a positive approach so what could go wrong
It's done me well
I've answered the bell
Each morning like a jolly old leprechaun

Very Jolly

There once was an ape named Ollie
Who rode around in a trolley
Three hippos in a bath
They made a hyena laugh
As a duck swam holding a brolly

Jolly Saint Nick

It was late Christmas Eve
When awakened by a noise
I was hoping it was Santa
With a hefty bag of toys

Peeking from my bedroom
Caught a vision really wild
Santa covered all in tinsel
And giggling like a child

He spun around the floor
As if nothing else to lose
Stripped down to his boxers
Wearing ballerina shoes

Still whirling like a dervish
I guess he couldn't see
After tripping on the sofa
He crashed into our tree

But still he kept on laughing
As though a great big joke
He then lit up his pipe
And blew out a cloud of smoke

There was such a pungent odor
I could tell it wasn't holly
It smelled like Maui Wowie
No wonder he's so jolly

Jolly Saint Nick

Our Jolly Saint Nick seems quite sprite

With big happy smiles this fine night

He hands out his toys

And tween that enjoys

His old, faithful friend named Bud-Light!

A Jolly Fisherman

A JOLLY FISHERMAN 


   Jolly fisherman jocund Jack
   took well knitted drag-net on back
   and long fishing rod to catch fish!
   Strong wish for fish fry to relish.

    Floating a boat he loved to trawl.
    Caught small fishes:Those were to crawl.
    Fishing rod pulled fish, gigantic.
    Large fish ate small ones! Drastic.

    No disappointment for Jack.
    He put the large fish in a sack.
    Jolly jocund Jack cooked big fish.
    and enjoyed a palatable dish.

A Jolly Fisherman

One slushy day, a Jolly fisher fishes
a wishing well, where he knows splashy fish is.
For Princess Tricia's favourite dish is,
a plate of little squishy fresh whitefishes;
and Tricia gets all she ever wishes.
Too selfy selfish to accept shellfishes,
Dogfish, Catfish, or even some Swordfishes;
and despite her mother's pushy tisch tisch tisches,
a plate of little squishy fresh whitefishes,
is all that Princes Tricia ever wishes.
The dashing, raffish, jolly fisher's wish is
by fishing for the squishy fresh whitefishes,
surely he should switch Tricia's fishy wishes;
then introduce and show some swisher dishes.

A Jolly Fisherman

One day, a jolly fisherman called Dave, 
    While sailing was shipwrecked, by a huge wave.
    Still gasping for air, Dave only could stare,
    At a gorgeous mermaid, with long blonde hair. 
    Who rescued him, as he clung to a rock.
    By helping Dave, to recover from shock, 
    She sang a soulful, sincere serenade,
    Luring seafarers, set sail to give aid.
    Then she submerged, with one swish from her tail.
     Now who would believe, this far-fetched regale.
     For all of his tales, seemed jolly good fun,
     Unless there is truth, in this latest one.
