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

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

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

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

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

A Right and Jolly Christmas
I dream of a right and jolly Christmas
I don’t dream of a white or snowy Christmas
It’s very slippery and treacherous when it snows
To go to church, I wear leather shoes
And it’s easy to fall and get hurt
I don’t want to break your heart
By saying that white Christmas
Isn’t a fun or joyful time. But Midnight Mass
Is

Jolly Old St Nick
In a land adorned with tinsel and lights,
Where merry hearts danced through winter nights,
Christmas arrived, bringing laughter and cheer,
A time when joy and humor drew near.
Santa, the jolly old man dressed in red,
With his chubby frame and a beard widespread,
He squeezed through chimneys with utmost grace,
Delivering gifts at a merry pace.
Saint Nicholas, a legend from

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

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

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.
