'Tis the season . . .


Poem Artwork

 

I decked the halls with boughs of poison ivy,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
'Tis the season to be itching,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Now I seek my Calamine Lotion,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll for it in the medicine cabinet,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the blazing rash before me,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Now the situation is worsening,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Watch me in un-merry scratching,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While I scream from painful displeasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Clear fluids ooze from my open blisters
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
The overall severity is progressing,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

I shouldn't have tried to decorate with it,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Next time I'll remember to use holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

'2008' RLS

Lance,
Ouch! Poison Ivy can be painful too. When I was a child I was very allergic and got it every year. Now as an adult I know to stay FAR away from it. Another creative, humorus write!

Blessings and huggs,

Thank you for sharing your wit and humor via your verses, Lance. This certainly is a different "take" on a classic carol. Love and peace,
