He Should Be Very Joyous

Poem Artwork
-->“Santa did miss me yet another time,
Was I such a bad little Jersey Devil this past year?”
Ed Matlack

My devilish old brother
Is complaining yet again
Saying Santa forgot him
No presents did he send

But I have just informed him
That dear old Ma didn’t forget
She sent him ‘Soap On A Rope’
Although he hasn’t received it yet

Dear old Ma wanted to save postage
So, she is sending his gift via a friend
Who will be heading off to Atlantic City
My brother should receive it by year’s end

Dear old Ma is always so considerate
His ‘Soap On a Rope’ smells like fish
So when he walks the beach, he’ll fit in
What a truly marvelous Christmas Gift

You Lucky Old Jersey Devil You,
All I Got Was a Bottle of Booze!

©Christmas Day 2014, His Already Joyous Brother

I'll drink to that!

I'm sure glad it's got a rope, wouldn't want that fish to end up on the floor at the communal beachside shower that the Devil frequents. Never know what would happen as he tried to catch it swimming in the suds.

Maybe Santa came to see him after all. Did he check in his mobile outhouse?

If I ever see this soap on a rope,
Does that mean I have to take a bath,
The only person Ma raised that was a dope,
Was my REALLY older brother, Mr. Ed,
For old Ed there really isn't any hope,
He doesn't realize that to deal with him I am the one that needs that bottle,
For it is really the only way with him that I can cope...-e-

Hey, when U R over 55 and R still alive every day is a treasure. Then to have mom send any gift is a bonus indeed. So enjoy this time and go have a ball. Wish you all good tidings, Christ Love and Christmas Blessings! Merry Christmas one and all!! Santa

I think he got his gift early - He just doesn't realise it.
