Is this how you like it?

Slathered on, rather thickly

Then there is only one thing

You shouldn’t try too quickly

Once you take a bite

Of your peanut butter sandwich

Be sure to chew it carefully

Or you’ll be at a disadvantage

Your words will stick together

And you’ll really start to stutter

No one will understand you

When you speak in beanut putter

Always hiding, within a book

Never glancing out, to take a look

Delph the Elf, was a studious guy

Never cared much for Santa, but why?

No one knew, twas a puzzle to all

How could he do this, oh what gall!

Christmas was near, the children, excited

Yet this little elf would stay home, he decided

He sat on his chair, day after day

Night after night, he liked it this way

See, he didn’t care, he kept to himself

Thankful for not being stuck on a shelf

Please read this to the tune of “Jingle Bells”   😉

Falling in the snow
One winter, cold and gray
Over drifts we go
Cursing all the way

No bells will toll for us
Noise is not our thing
Let us be, or you shall see
What happens when you sing

Ooooh, what the hell?!, we all fell
Out of Santa’s sleigh
We don’t know where we should go
This Christmas holiday

Oooooh, here we go, to and fro
We think this is the way
Through the woods, up to no good
This Christ-mas hol-i-daaaaaayyyy!!

Ho Ho!

It’s official!  At 11:28AM EST, winter arrived…brrrrr


Winter, in the morn, appears

Enticing everyone, with a flurry

Awakening the slumber of snowmen

Children, frolicking, on dunes of white

Snowball fights and mugs of hot chocolate

While we sit by the warmth of the fireplace

Longing for the first day of spring

They don’t know how it happened!

What do you mean? They have no clue?

Too many questions, all at once

Left them in a terrible stew!

Seems Colon missed a period

When Ellipsis…. had one too many

Apostrophe kept things together

When Comma hooked up with Semi

But when things became diacritical

For those poor, dear Punctuation’s

We cried, “Just hyphenate, til you dilate

Contractions will be your salvation!”
