Ah yes... the silly and saintly season is upon us, Folks... This may be a travesty of what we know Christmas to be all about, but such is life, no? Will work on a contrasting piece that is somewhat less bah humbug... :)) May the innocent awe and wide-eyed imagination of the child stir our world-weary and bleary souls this Christmastime. Love is for free but precious all the same: And, as we all know, the heart of what Christmas is all about... Peace to you and yours... and true happiness. K xx


DECEMBER MADNESS


Mangers in Manchester,
baubles in Bethlehem,
saucy Santas in Las Vegas,
chocolate nipples in Rome.

See Amid The Winter’s Sleet
and Hark The Herald Shop Tills Ring.

John Lennon still begs the question
to which we belch no answer…

Guess, then, only Rudolph nose.

Having finally gotten to this one well past the season, i thnk it may hold ever more humor retrospectively...clever becomes you Kate nd I can only imagine the twinkle in your eye when you wrote this...even Santa gives a nod up the chimney and Rudolph's in bed with his nose and the flu...Ha...only eleven months til the next go round.
Thank God the tree is finally down!
Love, Taylor

Lol no he doesn't, I asked him last Saturday when I found the fat bloke in a red suit hiding out in Conisbrough Castle...actually for a reindeer he's [Ruldolph] quite erudite, although he doesn't know very much about life in general, but is well up on navigational skills. LOL
A wonderful winter write Mizz P'
A very Merry Christmas
and happy New ears? Year!

One cannot but admire your sincerity. I have long refused to give presents at Christmas except monetary ones. Let others go to the shops when there are the sales. They get a better bargain and perhaps concentrate on what Christmas is really about. However I like our get togethers and the church services. Victor

Not too dark Kate my dear, but enchanting in it's questioning of the things that are not right in this world at this time of year. We as poets and writers have to be able to look at both sides and sometimes under the things we chose to write about in order to present our images honestly and truthfully. You have done this well in this write sweet Kate. Big hugs.
