It has been a long time since we sat
Way back then, I believe we were phat
Our days were confounded
Skeletons abounded
Now naked, donned only in a hat

Oh Hi! Hello there, let me introduce myself!
Please, don’t confuse me with the one on a shelf
I’d much rather be, where lies the green grass
I fancy my time, sitting here, on my… butt
The light, it draws sweetness, closer to me
I’m so very happy, watching a lantern fairy
I love how she dances, around, in the night
Sparkling brightly, underneath the starlight
So if you have a moment, or two, to spare
Come sit for a while, I’m happy to share
This place I call home, though fancy, it’s not
But, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it, ’cause I sure do, a lot!
Oh dear, did I forget, to tell you my name?
Why it’s Jed, this is true, I must proclaim.

This is might be a good one after we all stuffed ourselves yesterday. LOL
Don’t know what he expected
Digging in to all that junk food
His stomach raged a war with him
It was in an extremely bad mood
Burgers and dogs, fries, and corn
Into his mouth, he kept stuffing
Barely able to catch his breath
Found himself huffing, and puffing
Next came the soda, bubbles galore
Down the hatch, in one mighty swig
Not sure how much more could fit
His stomach was growing quite big
Then, there it was, a horrendous sound
Could’ve frightened the neighbors away
A gurgling, like no one has ever heard
Someone asked him if he was okay
But, it happened again, this time he blew
Such flatulence, would likely power a jet
We couldn’t help but laugh at the poor guy
But admit it, you would laugh, too, I bet

I do not like green eggs and spam
Send them to Pebbles, and BamBam
They can eat them on a plate
Or share them both, with Mr. Slate
Or maybe Fred would rather eat
Green eggs and spam, oh, what a treat
But Barney, he’s a lot like me
He won’t touch them, no sir-ee
So, if you serve green eggs and spam
Don’t invite me, I’m sorry ma’am
I cannot stomach all that goo
Just think, there will be more, for you!
I do not like green eggs and spam
I much prefer raspberry jam
But that’s another poem, true
For ~M has labeled it twenty-two!

Whose idea was it, to make us dress like this?
Faces masked, thank goodness, so no one knows
Who the silly people are, hiding in these clothes
Bells strapped around us, we jingle all the way
This is so ridiculous, it’s not even Christmas Day
Someone made the suggestion, to be different
We weren’t counting on it, being this significant
Apparently, it’s tradition, to look like big blue trees
Oh dear Lord, hopefully, no one has to sneeze!
Imagine what would happen, if that does occur
Our costumes would go flying, in a big blue blur
I would hear bells ringing, but they’re only in my ears
People clapping on the side, wait! Listen to the cheers!
They think we planned it, but they should only know
How hard it really is to walk, with jingle bells in tow
Oh fine, I’ll play along, since everyone is smiling
Wave to the crowd, laugh out loud, just look at us
We’re stylin’!
