Every time i am down and depressed,
My hand pickes up the razor,
As I stared at the razor blade inside that shelf, so satisfying. The bright lights in that bathroom casted my stare over the silver blade. My mind continues to say, "This may be the last time, if you finally cut deep enough."
So I try my best not to make a sound
Heart pounding,My mind fills with thoughts like a marry go around-I am so confused,
what to do next? Do I spare myself another day? Is that the easy way out or is it just my thoughts on that marry go round?
I just dont know what to do!
"If you don’t do it now then you’ll never do it for yourself." These words repeated in my head and just like that the sound of little feet come running down the hall and out the bathroom I go.
We'll have to start over
Because we no longer exist,
I'm in LOVE and in PAIN with that razor blade
NATURE’S MERRY-GO-ROUND
Bright green leaves waving,
Knowing they’ll soon be falling:
Leaving naked trees.
Naked trees, teased by winter,
Springing new leaves for summer:-
IRAN, WE WILL, POUND
TRUMP IRAN, MERRY-GO-ROUND
HELICOPTER DOWNED
I have been sitting around for fifty-two years in strife
Still in the box, wasting away, claimed by no one
Other merry mushroom canisters have had a life
but not me, I am afraid. I have had no joy or fun.
But wait, there is hope, says a spoon in a sleeve.
I have a feeling there might be a reason to say hooray.
Merry mushroom did not react, no reason to believe
He was sold on Ebay and put to use that very day!
The spoon was sold to the same buyer, and they became friends.
At night they told their tales, and laughed, glad to have come to these ends
"Let all thy joys be as the month of May, And all thy days be as a marriage day."
- Thomas Tusser
MAY of gladness, blest with vibrant ray
all the way bestowed by God each day.
MAY month, filled with radiant delight
brings triumph, miraculously bright.
MAY days of peaceful pace midst life's race
help us face woes' phase with divine grace.
MAY deeds that love feeds are wondrous acts
gifts of care we share midst marriage packs.
MAY hopes upon faith scopes for success' gain
let's soar with prayer-score to joy's terrain.
merry mistletoe maiden headed our way early this year
You are almost two months early, you poor little dear
She can stay with me my grandma said, I’ll decorate now
the maiden was excited, for grandma decorates with a wow.
the merry-go-round horses are a bit off today
dancing and prancing their hooves in a clever way
even the children realize something is amiss
as they turn and blow each other a child-like kiss
I hang on to my steed, loving this carousel so
will he jump off and over the hill next go?
I am bouncing and pouncing, laughing too
I have already lost my hat, a sock and a shoe.
You know salt and shake crisps
See for people who don’t add the salt
They could call them No salt No shake
Think I will be Sir real this year
A Christmas Table Spread
The table spread appears Christmassy
I’ve been working tirelessly, busy as a bee
My market list consists of garlic garlands and saffron
Other wild spices and cream for flan
Alaskan salmon, cranberry for ruby glaze
Fried zucchini and tangerine yams ablaze.
We start with specialty coffee and warm pineapple tamale’s
Displayed are red berries and shiny evergreen-leaf holly’s
Silver bells, gifts and holiday cards,
lit candles and gold ribbon by the yards.
Soon we’ll gather with our family and friends
And if necessary, we’ll make amends
Although it’s not a white Christmas
I know it’s genuinely spirited alas—
when the children laugh and run
I did the math, we’re all just having fun.
Wishing all…
Christmas Cheers and Happy New Year!

You tried to destroy us,
But your evil plan failed;
Now it's time to pay up:
Merry Christmas in jail.
He’s called Santa, Fatman, at times Saint Nick
His flying reindeer are what’s truly sick!
Kids get Santa’s Naughty or Nice List drift
Kindness becomes them, for an awesome gift

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, my Systers and Brothers!
It’s a time. A time. Again for love. The time
Lovers, families, parents, children’s love
Live and enjoy these days, the love
The Love. Comes from God
The origin, eternal life
Birthday of Jesus
Our hope, life
The Christ
Merry Christmas!
In the name of
Jesus Christ!
ON MARY’S MERRY DAY
Let’s be in love’s flow,
Mart’s birthing water’s gift:
God, in Jesus Christ:-
Let’s enjoy the merry day!
Giving and enjoying love:-
Blessed be Mary!
Merrily birthing our God’s
Divine Supreme Love:-
Let’s have a Merry Christmas:
Sharing gifted love supreme:-
Merry Christmas, Love;
Child of the Holy Spirit
Of God, and Mary:
Collectively—with Joseph—
Supreme service, clarified:-
Sears and Roebuck nailed the canister market in 1978
When they brought out Merry Mushrooms; they were great.
Every other kitchen in America probably had these on hold.
Or sitting on their counters, whimsical, big and bold.
These canisters were sold with matching pieces, sixty or more.
If you did not have them all, you were considered tight or poor.
It's with a deep feeling of love that
we decorate our Christmas tree
and mount it in a place of honour
so it brings joy to all who
will come to rest their eyes upon it.
It's a tradition close to our heart
as we bestow charm and beauty on each branch.
Many ornaments have sentimental value
as they've been passed down with great care
through years and generations.
Sparkle and glitter light up the season
with added sprinklings and flicks of magic.
Everyone enjoys how it brings out the child in us
as we reminisce about Christmases past
and feel nostalgic for loved ones we dearly miss.
