Premium Member No Stress Christmas

There's no stocking stuffed with presents
No punch bowl filled with  cheer
We haven't got the tree,  that 
We didn't buy this year


No,  turkey or a Ham
Nor chestnuts on the fire
No cookies filled with jam
Or puddings to desire


Chorus
No friends and no family
We're all alone at last
No ghost from Christmas Future
 Present or the Past

 Christmas Past

instrumental

No sleigh and no Santa
Perhaps we went to far
So, let us get our hats and coats
And come to where you are.

Chorus
No friends and no family
We're all alone at last
No ghost from Christmas Future
 Present or the Past

Ps News: Christmas Edition

Christmas edition of PS News is out, and here's the scoop
Poets are climbing the rungs of ladders on Poetry Soup 
It's not an easy feat; one to be applauded and praised
instead of opposed, demeaned, or by jealous ones, razed

Why bother looking at lists if you find them to be galling?
Frankly, I find one with such an attitude to be appalling.
Remember that Santa makes lists. Two of them, in fact
and you'll be on top of his naughty list if you overreact

Stop being so gosh darn negative about petty trivialities
We are not alike. We have many different personalities
So stop whining about poets who like to write for contests
You will surely find a lump of coal in your stocking, unless...

Premium Member Nativity Window - Holiday Blues

I’m passing by a festive window. 
Had to stop and scratch my chin. 
Feelin’ lost and disenfranchised. 
Wish I knew some next of kin. 
I’m staring back at my reflection. 
Won’t nobody let me in. No, no, no. 

I’m peeking through that frosted window: 
Tinsel draped on Norway spruce, 
Crystal goblets, wine and eggnog, 
Candied yams and Christmas goose, 
Bright candlelight and fancy pudding. 
Ain’t invited. What’s the use? So, so, so. 

I’m watching TV through the window. 
All of Whoville knows the deal. 
Mr. Grinch done filled his stocking.
That's exactly how I feel.
I’d like to break that stinking window 
Just to get a jailhouse meal. Ho-ho-ho.

Ain't Life Grand

Working night shift out on the retail floor,
stocking cans and boxes till her back’s broke.
Trying to live on minimum wage,
eating PB and J and drinking generic coke.

Cashiering all day at the fast-food joint,
collecting tips to try to make ends meet.
A big fake smile on her make up covered face,
blisters the size of quarters on her feet.

Watching TV without cable,
talking on a phone that still has a chord.
Growing a tire around her middle,
because pasta and potatoes is all she can afford.

Walk to work cause her car won’t start,
sure as Hell can’t buy both food and gas.
So when the man says he’ll make America Great,
she says that he can just kiss her ass.

Premium Member Santa Suit

I don't believe in Santa Claus
The way that I once did
I know dad brings the presents
Cos I found where they were hid

Don't be silly said my mum
Santa's not your pop
I said I found a wig and beard
Made from an old string mop

I said if Daddy isn't Santa
Something else is true
If Daddy isn't Santa Claus
I guess it must be you

It seems you've grown up she said
And should now know the truth
That daddy sneaks in through the door
No reindeer on the roof

I told her she should worry more
About dad's fancy dress
I'm really not too sure it's me
he's trying to impress

I told her that when she's at work
And dad thinks I'm in bed
He often dresses strangely
With the mop upon his head

She said he likes to practice
In his Santa Claus attire
After all she said it's why
We hang a stocking by the fire

She said he wants his Santa act
As good as it can be
I should be proud because
He does his Santa act for me

I said we all like parties, Mum
Including fancy dress
But something I must tell you
Might cause you some distress

Cos people dress as Santa Claus
And sometimes even vicars
But I don't get why dad struts round
In your bra and knickers

Winter In My Back

The cold wind is riding in on the horses back and the air is slowly creeping up my new frock, I got it for a pre-Christmas gift and I have to  try it on to see if it fits, I like the button line in my chest and how it sits neatly on top of my breast, it awakes a certain passion that reveals the designers  thoughts in daylight action. 

 The side lines are amusing too, it accentuates a feature about me and you, I will wear to the New year's Eve ball with a scarf to match and warm air running up my back, and my legs standing in harmony with them. 

I love the thought of winter running around the town, wearing long dress and miniskirts and the market women in the town singing in the street have caught on to the cultural  beat.  

Big women with broad hips dance forcefully and pull in the crowds and they too start jumping around. They sold off everything in a jiffy just because of the rhythm in their behind, and the patterns they create with the rhythm in their feet. 

You can do business anywhere as long as you have something profound to share. Everyone starts doing rock and roll in the street and the market women start turning up the winter heat. 

I want your winter to melt into my sun so that you can take up the bible and run and when my shoes cannot fit on your feet, you can try the lace up one that runs up your legs and place the stocking next to them. We are going on a ride with the ninja motorbike we will have  fun on the high way and until the troubles fade away. 

Winter is blowing in my back, and mountain goats are shouting. It is snowing way up there and there is no way they are going to get out of there. 

When you are surrounded what can you do? but take a good look at the obstacle and find a way to break through. When the lions and the tiger are grinding their teeth and their paws are resting on the platter telling you that it is time for supper. You have got to find a way to break through the lion and the tiger’s leg. 

Winter is sitting on the mountain and passion is rising in the skies.

Pollen People


    Ballerina barre bob, white stocking wings whir
    Mushroom plume tutu trails translucent steam
    Sticky foot pick ups signal patient Spring’s stir
    Pollen swollen coconut tip tongues crop cream



     Statue branches pop rabbit ears amazement 
     Magnolia ruby tuxedo tucks ruffle ivory shirt
     Wasps whisper, biscuit sugar stored fragrant
     Whimsical wizard voila Iced VoVo for dessert



     Tinkerbell petals tender invite insects parched
     Peter Pan aeroplane dive in opioid pond drone 
     Champagne flutes etch a marigold moustache 
     Bon voyage hibernate, heavy hive honeycomb 






           Buzz! Botanical I’m back!

Premium Member Chelsea Alive After Round Number Five

After doing my author duties 
Got to the pub for a futbol beauty 
Liverpool Chelsea in a duel under the lights 
Should go down to the final seconds I do write 
But the score before I order is one nil 
Hoping the Champions would be able to overcome this chill 
I must say Chelsea did the early work 
Even before I picked up my fork 
Another half has come along 
And the Reds must be feeling a little bit wrong 
It had been nearly 144 minutes since they did their goal song and dance 
Giving no chance for the coronavirus to advance 
How up setter they could be with all this time no netter we see 
Returning to the bridge Chelsea had marching orders 
Having full control, no need for any confusing match related reason to sorter
Aggressive they do play 
I must say 
Making the English Premiere Champions earn their pay 
Reds are the season star 
While Chelsea works the FA Cup bar 
Due to Liverpool mistakes 
They must line up and show what it takes 
To defend themselves from the direct kicks 
Standing strong without any knowledge of sporting tricks 
Hearing the little prayer, it was deflected over there 
It did not go in 
No need for Liverpool to call the tournament next of kin 
A little later Chelsea did close the deal 
Giving reality the news visiting Liverpool was not going to win a steal 
Liverpool still holds the top spot in the EPL 
While Chelsea realizes they are still in it as a marketing tool for the sport to sell 
Nearly 188 minutes without a goal 
Time to warm up using the boxer day gift of the stocking stuffer coal 
But the boys in blue will continue towards the FA Cup crown
While now its time to celebrate with a night on the town.
