I blame a lack of sleep for this one  😉


Inane was putting it mildly

All they knew was making merry

A cranberry wine, ever so fine

Those crazy dingleberries

 

They’d stomp about in vats

They drove us all quite bats

Poured a glass or two, whoop de doo

Didn’t matter after all that

 

So if you ever passing the shop

The Dingle’s invite you to stop

Raise up a glass, get drunk off your ass

Hang around for the next new crop

As fate would have it
Appearing again
A visible creature
An angel, so prim

She’ll pour you a glass
Or perhaps even two
As the clock ticks off time
Oh my, how it flew

She’s taking no chances
Making sure you’ll partake
Her slithering friend
Sees to your mistake

While her innocent face
Has you mesmerized, still
She’ll pour you another
Draw you in, against your will

No longer a battle
This one, you did lose
A victim of happenstance
Better knock off the booze

His hands were rough

Against the softness of her skin

An unshaven face

Bristled against her neck

His lips, a salted cold

Whispered, sending chills

Time together shortened

He would soon set sail

A memory, until he returned

A longing deep within

He was all she knew

And it was his touch

She would always crave

The tiny acorn

Grows into a mighty oak

Daring to be bold

Each strand so carefully
Strung on the tree
I would watch her in awe
And all I could see

Was the loving expression
On her smiling face
Nana knew exactly
How the tinsel should place

One silver thread
On each limb of pine
Another laid gently
So neat and so fine

For hours she’d continue
In her spirited way
So perfection would greet us
On that Christmas Day

She’d turn on the lights
Such a sight to behold
The sparkle of Christmas
Would never grow old

How I miss those days
How I miss you, sweet Rose
You decorated my heart
This, Heaven surely knows
