Donald Trump was counting his toes
(Which never once smelled like a rose)
The Devil appeared
And just as he feared
Nothing grew as fast as Trump's nose!...

Wickety, wackety, zis-boom-bah
The world's a treasure with minor flaws
Joy by the bucket
And still more yet
Ain't done until my last hurrah...

The car must become a freethinker
Case someone it might greatly injure
It clearly must steer
And brake and change gear
And give other bad drivers the finger...

Ain't done yet till my last hurrah...

The Day Of Originality Is Near
When Everything Will Be Clear
She Will Dry Her Tears
Because Arise
Before You Rise
With Your Story
In Her History.

The versatile jazzy rhythm went boom boom bah bing

We were dancing happily with a zany
Zingily zing

In the French quarter of New Orleans
Pretending we were voodoo queens...

Leap Year's "poll" vault
Olympic primary trials
Push-over leaps by party default
others limp away with denials.
Sis boom bah; blah, blah, blah, 
"poll'-itics and the media.

A Grinch in a hamlet of Whovilles

Stole credit cards, ringing up big bills

     Without checking price tags

     He murmured, “Bah, Scumbags”

For this is how grinches get their thrills!

Minichu kidding me?
I know Pikachu and tofu, but Minichu?
Like really?

Okay, I'll play.
Minichu like I know how to...
Some say.

Ha ha!
Easy for you.
Bah!

Minichu kidding me?
Minichu like I know how to...

You have the prettiest antlers the Jimbah Bah said.
I’d explain it to you, but it would confuse your head.
I do! Said the buck, all puffed up and incredibly proud! 
He was a male who felt good and yelled “I’m great!” right aloud!...

Poetry Soup wears a new face ~ it's like wandering in a strange place

as if blown away with tornadic force ~ floundering its way off course

after reading new lines, I gave a shrug ~ like Scrooge, I said, "Bah! Humbug!"

Discounting the Cooked Clerk

Bah humbug humidity.
Cratchit’s counting on hot reality
with an unquenchable boss.
Air conditioner’s broke, but not.
Think Winter’s better? it ain’t.
Scrooged in Summer taint.

Blessed herbs cut cords,
Short circuit spells, cast off for 
Clockwise voyages

From fire elementals
The dead receive their summons

------------
I was given the prompt of writing a tanka with these words or phrases: 
elementals , blessed herb , short circuit

Bah hum bug! says Grinchy young Guy;
it's time to give presents, my eye!
     To shop is hard work  
     which I choose to shirk;
My gift cards will wish them "good buy".

The Holiday Season has come and gone.

   Bank balance for that spree is overdrawn.

      Now I'm feeling mighty glum.

         Since Sam wants a hefty sum,

            The house and my dog I may have to pawn!

AI is worthy - but is it a pity?
Nothing's been done on synthetic stupidity
Smart may be good, but dumb gullibility
Will grow without limit and tend to infinity
Clever and cunning is not very hard
But it takes a brainbox to program a dullard
So why not SS instead of AI?
Well witless behaviour's in no short supply...

No carolling minstrels
No sparkles or tinsel.
The Grinch has a lot of good points.

Just, “how bloody awful
To not have some baubles.”
Bah! Scrooge would be proud of this joint.

My carols are wails
During holiday sales
I'll do just fine here without her.

My sparkles are tears
Every damn year
That I tossed out her favorite old Conifer....
