Christmas In July

Cottage dreams, wooden cabins and the scent of burning campfires 
Every July we would gather at Vince's cottage to see Santa in attire 
Into the water he would go with his speed boat full of presents  
all the kids would run to see the bearded man with a belly bent   

There was no snow, no mistletoe, no hot toddy, just sweet lemonade 
all the kids would line up straight just waiting for that gifted accolade 
We had never heard of Christmas in July for us this was spanking new  
at night we sat around at fire and sang carols until half past two 

Today I reminisce about those days of Christmas in the summer heat 
we wore flip flops and passed out freeze pops, oh it was all so neat 
Now when winter holidays arrive with cold and winter storms abroad   
we talk about Vince and his Xmas antics, before he left to be with God.

The next day she knelt on one knee and did ask, 
"oh Pippin oh Pippin won't you marry me"

In the meantime, the ring was attached to a daisy,  
of course he'd marry her, she drove him half crazy !!!

Premium Member Poet Vs Poet






        Of romance, they never pen.
        As if they had paralysis, or is
        romance a secret then?

        It's as real as the nose on your 
        face!
        Have you erased it all and so 
        what took its place?

         Yes, I heard about the poets,joy to 
         disgrace each other!
         The sweetest poets here got intense 
         joy out of watching the jousting between 
         poet sisters and brothers?

         A passion for poet blood, because
         your life is that dull?
         Better you have a hot toddy that 
         makes that mind of yours null!

         Insults and spurn, do not encouragement 
         make.
         Mail each other to have it out, on your
         time, not ours is my take!

         People see us ranting and humiliating 
         one another?
         Who wants to join The Soup and get
         their poetry smothered?

All a Girl Really Wants

"All a man really wants, is a girl who looks good in a bikini." - Jack Freestone

All a girl wants is a man who looks amazing in a tiny suit 
one that will make her heart race when he flexes his glutes 

one who comes charging down the beach on a white horse 
and swoops her in his big strong arms, without any force 

All a girl wants is a good looking man with a sexy strut 
one with crazy thunder thighs and trunks that plunge n' cut 

one that will place tanning lotion all over her warm body 
and make her purr like a kitten after drinking hot toddy 

All a girl wants is a swimsuit God who is named Bolt Upright 
it has to fit him almost right,... but just a wee bit tight 

one who can save her if she's about to drown at sea 
and give her mouth to mouth on bended knee.  

"All a girl really wants, is a man who looks good in a bikini" - Yummy !

Premium Member Day Drinking At the Grand

(Is this better than ChatGPT did yesterday? We're having a contest.)

dormant as naked
shivering trees
falling before me

yearning
for warmth
and companionship 
in neverending 
cold cruel 
winter
Armageddon

solace at
the Grand 
found it
in a hot toddy
and hugs from
Angela and Shelby
my favorite bartenders 

Angela's latest
watercolor 
just emerging
stunning
goddess
full of symbology
I see 
dream catcher
earrings
colbalt silk dress
hemmed with
gold Hindu ohms
and swastikas 
soft light
falling from
glowing moon's face
embedded 
with
Cancer rising
astrological chart
Angela laughing
takes her
phone away

Shelby
petite 
blue haired 
pixie
swaps
toddler stories
her three year old
daughter 
my two year old
granddaughter 
being so adorably 
horrible

I share
latest pics
from most recent
journey 
youngest's wedding 
big blue sky 
soft white whisps
gracing over 
beautiful bride 
sequins sparkling 
like snow 
in setting sun

her handsome groom
in spiffy 
mallard green tuxedo
crying

yeah...
and I have to 
share my latest
girlfriend/online dating
experiences 
always amusing 

and hear that?
it's Billy Joel
Piano Man 
playing
in the background
 
nothing like 
day drinking
the bleak and grey 
away
happy hour
happy day


Premium Member Neon Night Vignette


The last of the lights turned out,
drinks and hors d’oeuvres put away,
restaurant returned to its every-day self,
only a few candles in glass lanterns
now left on the bare pine tables.

She sits at one of the tables, and,
wincing, kicks off her shoes, removes
her cocktail apron and name tag,
leans on her elbows, inhaling the
cinnamon steam from her hot toddy.

Exhausted, with her piled-up hair
slightly disheveled, she relaxes.
The bride and groom are off
on their honeymoon to Santorini,
guests and most staff home to sleep.

The neon glow from outside
bathes her in a pink and blue haze
making her look less like a waitress
and more like a girl expecting a date
or actress waiting for her audition.

The hot drink gone, she redons shoes
and fetches her coat and purse
from the kitchen, leaving the cup.
Georgio, the boss, calls “Get some sleep.
You’ll need it tomorrow.” She sighs.
