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

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

Endlessly Bound ~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

Each day as I pen another

I wonder what it’s all about

Do these verses I write even matter

Or should I continue to toss them out

Into the world I’ve enveloped

In the place I have chosen for them

Nearest, to my heart and soul

Where they cause the most mayhem

These thoughts are certainly not menial

There is drudgery, elsewhere, to be found

So I shall continue to wear these chains

To my poetry, I am endlessly bound

Nothing ever made sense
But in his own silly defense
He’d wiggle and pose
Though nobody knows
Exactly why he was so dense

No matter what anyone said
It never got into his head
So he joined a rock band
That played in the sand
Long enough to make him some bread

He became a star on the stage
From morning til night, he’d engage
All the town folk, those women
Whose hearts were abrimmin’
Came running to him, a rampage!

He had no clue, what next he should do
So he begged, “On me please don’t tread!”
