Santa"s Works Night Out. a Cautionary Tale

At last it has arrived, 
let there be no doubt. 
That everyone goes crazy 
at the Christmas staff night out. 

Now Santa took the sleigh. 
He did not stop to think. 
For that was very foolish 
with all that food and drink! 

Tooth fairy looked real nice 
so did the pantomime dames, 
but Grinch was asked to leave 
for calling Santa names. 

The leprechauns told anecdotes 
in the spirit of Bob Hope. 
The snowmen all got stoned 
by passing round the dope. 

Santa told rude jokes! 
and some were even funny. 
But everyone avoided 
that randy Easter Bunny. 

Jack Frost he was concerned, 
told the Elves what he was thinking. 
"That Santa"s getting drunk, 
he is doing to much drinking." 

When the meal was over, 
the MC he did stand . 
"Will you welcome live on stage, 
The Boogie Man and his band." 

The celebrations ended. 
"Get on your merry way." 
Santa staggered out 
to try and find his sleigh. 

The reindeer headed home 
they knew the way to go. 
They did not stop to think, 
to take it kind of slow. 

Santa started singing 
a chorus of Wild Rover. 
When flashing lights appeared 
and he was soon pulled over. 

"Lets see your drivers licence 
and please put out that ***." 
"Step out of the vehicle 
and blow in to this bag." 

Oh Santa was locked up. 
You should have heard him wail. 
"You have to let me out, 
you have to give me bail." 

His sentence will be soon 
lets hope the courts a fan. 
For what will happen next year? 
If he gets a driving ban.! 

Poor old Santa Clause 
it is a sorry tale. 
He got community service, 
instead of going to jail! 

By all means leave a carrot. 
A glass of milk I think. 
But don"t encourage Santa 
by leaving out a DRINK!

Premium Member The Morning of the Hurricanes Part 1

The Bishops bathe in Babylon
while Princes, prancing on the lawn,
watch Queen deflowered, pale and wan.
            The King dares not defend her.
The Horsemen, holding broken reins
the Morning of the Hurricanes,
sigh “it’s no use, it’s all in vain,
            the Saints will soon surrender”.
They wonder why they ever came,
they have No One whom they can blame,
they have no face, they have no name,
            and even less, a gender.

The empty-handed Vagabonds
smoke stale cigars, stroke faded Blondes
while waiting at the walls beyond,
            but kneel as Chaos enters.
They’re gazing through the window panes
in hopes that distant Hurricanes
will twist and break their iron chains
           defying life’s tormentors.
The Fantom of the Opera frowns
as feeble minded Cleric-clowns
mouth hollow hurdy-gurdy sounds
           when blessing doomed dissenters.

The Pirate wields a wooden leg,
with pupils dull and visage vague,
and if by chance he spreads the plague,
	it really doesn’t matter.
His Princess, pale, no longer feigns,
foresees instead (down ancient lanes)
the coming of the Hurricanes -
            the Stones stir, staring at her.
And Jackals scrape the river bed 
as Savants soothe the underfed
and Crows, collecting scattered bread,
            adorn, with crumbs, the platter.

The Jokers Wild and One Eyed Janes
weep, winding up in rundown trains
mid whispers of the Hurricanes,
            and Priests refuse to christen.
They’re fleeing from the Leprechauns,
the cuckoo birds, the dying swans;
while pitching pennies into ponds
            their eyes opaquely glisten.
The spectral Clocks with spindled spokes
remind the Mimes to tell the  Folks
the time of day and other jokes,
            yet No One looks to listen.

The Hunchbacks with contorted canes
galumph before the Hurricanes, 
in melted sleet, in frozen rains,
            in bruised and battered sandals.
Their Groans engulf the land of gulls,
the land of stones, the land of nulls,
and lurk between the blackened lulls, 
            for Nighttime brooks no candles.
Their prayers to Dogs and Nuns and Dukes,
(and other long forgotten Spooks)
are more than random crazed rebukes,
            though taunting to the Vandals.

Premium Member You Might Be Irish

If your favorite color is green and of the Emerald Isles you dream, you might be Irish. If when you kissed the Blarney Stone you knew at las you were at home, you might be Irish. If you believe in leprechauns and fairies and hidden treasures that lay buried, you might be Irish. If you like your lasses bawdy and tell jokes a little naughty, you might be Irish. If you can dance an Irish gig and at the pubs the whiskey swig, you might be Irish. If your mom cooked an Irish stew and you just happen to be Catholic too, you might be Irish. If your last name is Fitz, Riley or O'Keefe, your most definitely Irish, good grief! If not then just for this one day, we'll say your Irish any way. Happy St. Patty's!

Premium Member Who Invited These Creeps

A funny thing happened to me the other day
I started seeing leprechauns on the freeway.
They pinched my cheeks and giggled in my ear.
I was driving fast, but they kept getting more near.

I turned to the purple glittery unicorn in the front seat.
Asked him  who invited these creeps? They are simply not sweet!
The unicorn said don’t blame me. It was probably the bear.
The grizzly in the back seat flipped his claws through my hair.

My speedometer said ninety, and the car was shaking now.
I was wishing for a cop to come and haul me off, somehow.
The leprechauns put their fingers around my hazel eyes.
Guess who? They asked. No big fat surprise.

Who else would distract me this way when I am learning to drive?
My driver evaluator dove onto the floor with a really quick dive.
You are not going to ever pass, she said, if I have my way.
Just another crummy instructor, from the DUV this weird awful day.

Premium Member When the Clock Strikes Midnight

When the clock strikes midnight,
When so late it is in the night
I usually rouse from my sleep
And enjoy some  moments of grace, with my own friends of keep!

Fairies, goblins, elves, leprechauns, why maybe even the devil
They all come out from under my bed, 
And do bid time to keep still
In their games, they keep me all attracted!

From midnight till the early hours of dawn
I forget that I need to sleep, why I even forget to yawn
We sup, laugh, love and dance
A waltz, a tango,  all forms of art do flow in great abundance!

With their magic sticks, fairies allow us to make noise
Without anyone getting to know our poise
With their tricks, goblins and elves, have me holding my breath
With their watchful eyes, leprechauns keep my bedroom, from spies, safe!

Sad I really am, when they bid me goodbye
Teary is my heart as I watch them, fly to the sky
Hopefully, say I to myself, they shall come back tonight
Hopefully it was not a dream I made at the strike of midnight!

The Unicorn's Return

Sam Adams 
was a paranormal researcher 
he was searching 
for mystical creatures 
that he was sure 
still existed somewhere. 
 
The banshees, bigfoot, the centaurs, 
the demons, the dragons, the giants, 
the hellhounds, the minitours, the leprechauns. 
The snowmen, the unicorns, and yeti. 
 
Sam Adams found a book 
the legendary infamous necormicron. 
Which many had dismissed 
as nothing but a story 
by Lovecraft and his fellow 
demented writers. 
 
Chanting from the book,
He opened the door 
the first through 
was the king of the unicorns. 
 
He brought with him 
thousands of his followers 
who launched a war 
against the modern world. 
 
The unicorn and his army 
quickly overwhelmed the world 
appointed Sam Adams 
as their ambassador, 
 
the unicorn smiled 
at his victory 
it had been a long time 
living in exile 
in the other dimensions.

Premium Member Land of Killarney

Sun is declining, beneath a blue Irish sea
With a fire to warm me' bones, in a cottage by the bay
And the coals to bake me scones, 
Where the bracken turns so reddin'
Like a wildfire on the mountain
And wee nanny goats on rocky hillsides, are too many for the countin'

Heather waves in summer breezes...
And harshness bringin' winter's season
Thar' be waving sails upon the blue
And leafy shamrocks on the green 
Where the rugged shores, and seagulls cry, and a sunset captures you

Granite stones, and bogs of grass, water gleams like shining glass
Friendly folks bearin' ruddy cheeks, and a colleen, fair thee lass
We'll tip our mug at village pub, and make a toast to St. Patty's kin
Let me sink me' eyes  upon the scene of Irish rugged land 
Upon the skies, upon the streams, where druid legends live
Upon the land...home of the clan, where me many roots began

Where the ole' pale moon at nightfall, scatters memories a'glowing
Of fair roses of Tralee, over garden gate, a growin' 
Charming valleys, greener hillsides, fill thee heart of all 'me clan
Pick ye' a shamrock.... look for gold, shake yer' hands with leprechauns
Kiss ye' a Blarney .....Come to Killarny, come to all that's home to me
Where names of O'Reily, or McDougal where so many Mac' roots began

An Ode to Michael

I’ve been approached, to write this Ode, by Michael:
he wants me to identify three traits
of his. I told him, life is just a cycle
of ups and downs. I cited one Matt Gaetz!
“Don’t count on your intelligence,” I said:
you’re bright alright, but that is where it ends.”
“I need a friend to do this,” he admonished.
“You have,” I pointed out to him, “no friends.”
Internally, he’s clever: outside, dead.
If anybody phones him, he’s astonished.

“So tell them, girls mistake me for George Clooney!”
No way. “No doubt,” I said, “You’re polyvalent.
But as for looks, you’re nearer Mickey Rooney.
Yet I’ll concede your literary talent.”
He seemed appeased by this. “Brigitte Bardot
would love the chance to glance upon my sonnets,
and Sofia Loren says she’s read my plays.”
“You live on leprechauns and Easter bonnets,
you sad buffoon.” I truly told him so.
“The nineteen fifties were your salad days.”

“Those times are gone! Get with the modern world.”
“I’ve got a brain, and I can write a bit:
we need another quality unfurled.”
“There’s no more in your favour. That is it!”
We scratched our heads. We pondered. Nothing came.
“I’ll put up money …”  “Michael, you’re absurd.
You couldn’t, if you tried, put up a tent.”
The bribing-plan was stillborn. In a word,
he hasn’t got a penny.  All the same,
there’s no-one would deny … the guy’s a gent.

~Irish Blessings~ 
(Rhyming Couplets) 


Again is another St. Patrick's Day 
And we celebrate it in a grand way 
We sure like wearing something green 
And show it upon a shirt or a pair of jeans 

There's something nice about this holiday 
And lots of us agree that is a special day 
When we can think for some good reason 
About other things that relate to this season 

Some people feel just like dancing 
While making merry and all the way laughing 
Some like watching for those jolly green little men 
Leaping and dancing while carrying gold by the glen 

St. Patrick's Day is a very happy day 
Filled of fanciful fables the Irish way 
Enshrouded in mysteries and fairy tales 
One more than the other behind an Irish veil 

So today is another St. Patrick's Day 
Let's dance and be merry the whole day 
Let's search for leprechauns and for a four-leaf-clover 
And find rainbows even after this day is over.

Premium Member Ireland of Green

Today’s the day to celebrate St. Patrick’s day, each in their own special way.
* *

Fine fields of green and cute leprechauns too
That Ireland is a wondrous place, it's true
The scenery, magical to the eye
Visited, saw it, adored it did I.

There's so much beauty of nature to seek
The mountains, rivers and flora unique
Seasons changeable, no rhythm or rhyme 
Mild winters, warm summers, simply sublime.

Friendly folk, a best reception one gets
The moment onto Irish streets one steps
Irish eyes are smiling, one can't deny
They gleam alike shining stars in the sky.

Delightful pipe music, the river dance 
Singing that greatly enhances romance
There one may sup the famous Guinness brew
And a comforting bowl of Irish stew.

One's never alone, when Ireland one roams
Treading the streets of the Irish green zones 
The Emerald Isle has a welcome mat 
Once been one’s sure to desire going back.
