Sometimes things are better after the fact. This might not have been very funny whilst so many people were stranded at airports and such. But now…..

 Little Jingle for the Time

 

doesn’t even need to rhyme

can only be a single line

or a word

absurd

no page left unfilled

most of us are plenty ill

COVID year three

all my littermates save me

misery has its company

Christmas music

ice inch thick

everyone sick

blizzard storm of the century

coating wild Christmas trees

bah humbug!

no handshake, no hug

no reindeer-naming

no mask-shaming

no Martin, Bing, Williams or Como

no nutcracker, no ho-ho

a humbug this time.

and there’s your perfect little rhyme.

Witty, clever and bang on the nail!
Hopefully things will get back to
a ‘new normal’ where lessons will
have been learnt and we will be kinder and
more considerate of one another…
HOPE…

I pray every day this nightmare will please please end.. However I believe with all my heart we will never be the same, we will learn so much, be stronger and lean more powerfully to God and above all never take each second for granted. So with those gifts they are profound

I love it! It's great when we just let loose and do a silly rhyme. While I have been listening to some of those dudes and their beautiful feminine counterparts, not for their Christmas songs, but for their ability to croon like Nat King Cole, bless his soul, does anyone born in this century even know who they were?

And perfect it is, yet a bit sad you're still under the spell of Covid after 3 years. Wishing you well. Odin

There is always room for grumbling, especially if it rhymes so beautifully, saith Scrooge.
