Premium MemberODE TO THE FESTIVE SABOTEUR

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, small gray squirrel with paws swift and horrific, your crimes against Christmas stir outrage mythic. Every December, the same dang fight~ you gnaw through our twinkling strands of light. We’ve duct-taped. We’ve sprayed. We’ve begged you to cease; yet, you chomp with a rodent’s relentless mouthpiece. Your tiny teeth, sharper than Scrooge’s spite, leave our lawn a dark, half-lit blight. Next year, we’ll rig traps large and unbenign or string the lights with razor wire design. But deep down we know—you’ll win this war, one chewed-up bulb at a time, you anarchic piece of forest lore.


Premium MemberOde To Fiber Optics

Fiber optics make such gorgeous Christmas trees
Enhance silk flower arrangement in a variety of degrees
Used in medical operations if you please. 
Help phone signals according to my cousin Lees.
I wish I could wear them up and down my sleeves.

Premium MemberOde To Christmas

Smiles as we light up the Christmas tree
Giggles from little ones sitting on Santa’s knee
Caroling in the newly fallen snow is pure bliss 
Standing beneath the mistletoe hoping for a kiss
Snowball fights abound in the park
We’ll bake Christmas cookies and drink hot chocolate 
Children’s’ faces of joy on the twenty fifth 
Wide eyed with wonder as they open their gifts 
But the saddest day of the year comes next
Alas it falls on December twenty six 
We’ll sadly mark the calendar to start it all over, and then
agonize until it’s Christmas time again.

Premium MemberAbout An Orphan

In comfort next to you mother,
fifteen Christmas I spent with you,
in time’s orchards fruits picked together,
those fruits now bitter without you!
Tears that run down my pillow,
are tears that will not dry,
With years hope heart will mellow,
I shall try not to cry!

Premium MemberChristmas Past

In midst of forest stands an ancient tree
decorated by nature with white cotton snow puffs,
icicles glisten and gleam sparkling in the sunlight.

Around its base are gathered all the forest's creatures
with pregnant pause they wait as the star shines out
a beacon to all calling out, hush now do you hear?

The sleigh bells ringing out as down swoops Santa
wait, he is not alone with him the blessed babe 
in distance approach the three wise men bears gifts.

All the creatures now on bended knees him they salute
the ancient tree smiles knowingly and the heavens
celebrate with comet tails and shooting stars the precious babe.

Premium MemberOde To a King

The angels praised him,
the heavens rang.
How can I do less?

The shepherds marveled,
and spread the news.
How can I do less?

Wise men brought gifts
worthy of a King.
How can I do less?

My lips will praise him,
my heart will sing.
My soul will worship
my Savior and King.

Every chance, I tell
what he's done for me.
He died in agony,
hanging on that tree.

Celebrating his birth,
I give him my all.
How can I do less
when my Savior calls?

Premium MemberA Dog's Life

In a dog's life.We get toy balls, and toy bones
to play with.In a dog's life.We get names like
Rover, and Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, and Lucky.In a
dog's life.We chase balls, and cats, and cars, 
and deer, a bird, a pheasant, or a little girl's
Christmas present.In a dog's life.We like milk
bone dog food, crunchy biscuits, and crunchy dog
treats.We like dog foods with plenty of meat.In a
dog's life.We jog along, when the master goes out
for a run, or we run all day long in the back yard, 
just for fun.In a dog's life.We catch a flying frisbee.
As it floats through the air.We make all kinds of
noise.As we chase off the grizzly bear.In a dog's 
life..
