On December 1th after a russet sunset lingered a bit,
the dusk had to lay its dark veil on the auburn Nature without sounds;
and I accidentally spotted on the southern side of the clear sky:
the half moon and two twinkling stars: one pointing West,
the other pointing East...and this star resembled a lot
the one that appeared on the manger in Bethlehem...
and the Gospels were very specific about its awesome purpose
and the significance of the birth of a Godly child!
Eastern star of December, when Jesus was born,
you shone brighter than any star throughout the Heavens,
to bring that light that was overshadowed by sin...
when the Earth was ruled by tyrants who had no love in themselves;
and your appearance makes me glad to put it into a believer's words!
Eastern star of December, you let me trace your origin:
from the time when your glorious journey began...
to bring hope to Mankind from a little town in Israel!
Am I the only one to have discovered your hidden spot,
where anyone could see you above the grove of pines
and the scattered maple trees from a grassy terrain?
And am I the chosen one to witness what nobody can?
Is this vision a privilege that faith bestows upon the wise,
who believe in the evidence that is immediately discerned
without recurring to absurd assumptions to allow doubt!
Oh, I still look up and glorify Him to receive more wisdom!
Eastern star of December, you can't be forgotten to time....
as an insignificant celestial body, and they have tried to erase your splendor:
with a disbelief so great to keep Mankind from finding that true light!
Eastern star of December, you were assigned to baby Jesus...
so that everyone could behold Him as your brilliance glowed on His divine face!
Easter star of December, spend this night telling me of His birth at the manger...
how He waited for the Wise Men to proclaim Him: the King of Kings!

I was shopping at the mall, and who did I see?
Santa Clause was there, waiting to take a picture with me.
I knocked over a bunch of kids that were standing in line.
"I'm sorry, little brats, but I'm gonna get mine!"
I jumped on Santa's lap and punched him right in the face.
I could hear kids start crying all over the place.
"That's right kids, cry! I'm about to take Santa's life!"
I reached in my pocket and I pulled out a knife.
I said, "Listen up, fatty! All I want is your sled,
and a big bag of cash, or else you're gonna be dead!"
Santa just smiled and shouted, "Give it a try!
I was here before the wheel. There's noway I can die."
Santa was right... A knife wouldn't do.
So I whipped out my gun and I pulled the trigger too.
Kids started running and screaming, but Santa still sat.
Not a scratch on the guy, just a hole through his hat.
He shouted, "Ho! Ho! Ho!" That jolly ol' soul.
Then he reached in his bag and he pulled out some coal.
He threw it at my head and it knocked me out.
Then he turned to the kids and he started to shout!
"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"
Thats when I woke up, and I was ready to fight.
I punched him once or twice, and started pulling his hair.
Then I got jumped by eight little Elfs that he had with him there.
A reindeer blinded me with it's bright little nose.
A child even hit me with a toy rubber hose.
"Mercy!" I yelled. "I give up! I insist!"
Santa kept on laughing and put me on the notty list...
Be good EVERYONE! I saying that from my soul.
Don't wind up like me with a pile of coals!
Mommy! Mommy! I had the sweetest dream last night!
I dreamed I was Santa's helper and it gave me such a fright!
Mommy! Mommy! Did you know that reindeer can really fly?
I know, Mommy, 'cause he let me guide them thro' the sky!
And another thing, Mommy, that I thought was really weird.
I wore a red suit, and guess what? I grew a fluffy beard!
I visited the North Pole, met Mrs. Claus and all the elves,
And helped fill the sleigh with toys from Santa's shelves!
Blitzen, Rudolph and their friends flew swiftly thro' the air,
And, Mommy, Santa was so jolly with so much love to share!
We visited children in places I had never heard of before.
The world is so pretty, Mommy, but so much is torn by war.
When we slid down the chimneys, we always found a treat.
There was milk to sip and dozens of ginger snaps to eat!
Santa had a gift for every boy and girl all about the earth,
And, Mommy, we even stopped at the place of Jesus' birth!
Santa showed me kids suffering poverty, hunger and disease.
Mommy, when I'm big I'll be a Santa to care for such as these.
There'll always be a Santa to bring to their eyes a gleam.
When I grow old I'll relive and share with them this dream!

A Slightly Cynical Christmas
The day before Christmas,
My head’s in a whirl,
Trompsing through malls
With a two-year-old girl.
Rudolph and Frosty
Are far from my mind
It’s some weird talking Elmo
S’Got me standing in line.
The crappy store speakers
Playing “Joy to the World”
Heck, I’ll just be happy
If my Visa’s still good.
Mistletoe hanging
On doors here and there
But if someone dare kiss me
He gets decked “you know where!”
The cashier’s dressed like Santa
With a hat and a beard
Both me and my daughter get
Creeped out ‘cause its weird.
Now don’t get me wrong,
I’m no Grinch, I’m no Scrooge
But all this good cheer’s
Got me reaching for booze.
My gifts are now bought
And we head for the car
Visions of Egg Nog,
Perhaps a stop at a Bar?
We dash through the snow
And laugh all the way
The joy of the season
Momentarily got in my way.
We get into the car
And of course it won’t start
And there is a funny, weird smell
I think its elf farts.
So a quick text to Santa
And his eight tiny reindeer.
And next thing I know,
We’re high in the air.
And I waved to the mall
As we rode out of sight
And I thought to myself
It might be a good night
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
Come to me by moonlight on All Hallow's Eve
rise up from the grave and let your spirit raise
coat me with frost breath, sing to me your boos
I am hungry for the past days of scariness and fools.
Come to me at the graveyard, soar above the marble
whisper to me of your life and loves, don't wait
for your proper turn, don't lie lonesome beneath dirt.
There's an ear for every sorrow and a promise of corn
if on All Hallow's Eve you find your way to my side.
There we'll drink spiced wine and toast past days
when bodies were a hindrance and our emotions raged
we'll wonder about starlight and planet scapes
and talk to three a.m, if you come to me at midnight
and touch my spirit to yours. The clock will tick as count
the oaks will zither a tune, the lowing cows and rats
rustle will speak of night's safety and an alternate way.
Tell me of your curtains, the end of your way of life,
tell me of your children, the last of your family line,
tell me of your lover's kiss, the last treasure you held
before you wandered free of the earth's reach
every all Hallow's Eve, every chance you were freed
and if you are lonesome or traveling a new domain.
The excitement has been building over the past year.
But it’s finally here; our holiday to Florida and everyone is bursting!
We leave a note to my dad, it says;
Dear dad,
Please can you leave the landing light on at night
and don’t forget to close the curtains. Feed the cat and its best
to leave the doors open ajar in case he gets shut in one of the rooms
and needs the loo!
Thanks so much for having the dog for 3 weeks too.
Love ya dad ***
Nearly nine hours on the plane, I think the toilet will always scare me a bit
as I’m afraid it may suck me up into it!
Lazing in our villa and by the pool in the Orange County sun
is overwhelmingly enjoyable for all; the five of us having family fun.
Too much to squeeze in, 3 weeks isn’t long enough.
Full to the brim with Disney parks galore.
The incredible wild life, oh and the armadillo by the road!
I even lost weight with all that walking we did!
All you can eat, a real treat. Plus cinnamon doughnuts – yum!
It had to come to an end. The heat, the sand and the sun.
The photos I took were great,
Wonderful memories to hold on to forever.
For contest 'its time for a vacation'
My doorbell rings and what do I see?
Ghosts and witches grinning at me
Kids of every shape and size
With painted faces and sparkling eyes
There in the glow of a pale street light
Ghouls and goblins are owning the night
But then I notice way off to the side
A lonely clown as he tries to hide
From the other kids in the neighbor's yard
I don't mean to stare but it's very hard
This little guy looks so lost and alone
Like a night of fun he's never been shown
I call to him,he comes to my side
I say "little one there's no need to hide
You look so sweet in your clown costume
Mommy dressed you up I assume?"
He started to cry and said to me
"My mom has gone to heaven you see
Daddy dressed me the best he knew how
Then dropped me off-that's why I'm here now"
So I said "Well you're the best ever clown"
With that he started to lose his frown
I filled his bag with treats and candy
Threw in some pennies that I had handy
He grinned and left to meet his dad
I thought of how he'd been so sad
Hoping I had brightened his night
I closed the door and shut off the light
Bah! Humbug! 'Tis again that time of the year,
When I must go hither and yon spreading good cheer.
Ho, ho, hoing as wriggling brats sit upon my knees,
Boring me with their interminable pleas!
I try to animate the beast with the shiny red nose.
The other cantankerous brutes won't rally 'til he goes.
This year, please clear the snow off your roofs!
If one breaks a leg I have no spare hoofs!
How about leashing your beloved family mutt!
Frankly, I'm weary of being nipped on the butt!
And I'm getting sick of your crummy cookies and milk.
How about some salami and cheese or something of that ilk!
I've really suffered a most ruinous year.
Mrs. Claus and those pesky elves formed a union up here,
Working less hours and demanding more pay!
I doubt I'll have enough toys to fill the sleigh!
If I sound somewhat like I have the grumps,
I've just been feeling down in the dumps.
Folks, I need your help to make me merry.
This whole Christmas thing I alone cannot carry!

One rainy season of my life
I took a trip to Hawaii where
The Maui Isle awaited me
For two long weeks, without a care.
The beach called to me with its sand
So clean and white and warm as toast.
I filled my lungs with ocean air,
Inhaling to my innermost.
My room was eleven stories high,
I could see the ocean all unfurled.
Suspended between the earth and sky
I was insulated from the world.
No fog or smog was shielding me
From beauty of the bright blue sky.
The January sun came shining through
With warmth it borrowed from July.
I felt a peace I'd never known.
I loved the island's relaxed way.
The natives set an easy pace.
Tomorrow is another day.
The flowers with their sweet perfume,
Were like no flowers I'd seen before.
I stored them in my memory vault,
To keep them with me evermore.
When each day's sky is full of clouds
And all of time is dullest grey,
My mind will wander back to where
Summer's just one airplane ride away.

Oh gentle reader I impart unto thee a poem of the turkey for this holiday who's name wasn't
important enough for me to remember.
.................................................................................................
I'd never seen a bird as big
it dwarfs everyone and everything
It keeps indoors and out of the rain
It preserves its shiny pelt this way
I polish it's beak, it eats my bread
it eats everything not attached to my head
In fact I'm close to losing my home.
It forces me to rub it's claws
it beats me if I don't sing a song
it even beats me if I do
it bites me when it sings along
it ate half my nose.
It takes its beauty naps on my back
I have aches now but it just laughs
its mean to me
since the day I didn't watch the gun rack
I've been slave to a turkey.
