Seems Frosty had gone a bit wild

Finally releasing his inner child

Christmas was here, he was full of good cheer

He’d wink when the snowladies smiled

 

But something went terribly wrong

Must have stayed by the fire too long

No longer jolly, all that’s left is his holly

Now they remember him, with a song

The Christmas tree was lit
Only one thing left to do
String together popcorn
To create the perfect view

I carefully threaded the needle
Making sure it was nice and strong
One by one, I gathered them
To make the strand grow long

There was just one problem
My tree was much too tall
I couldn’t reach the very top
Else I’d surely face a fall

So I sat down in my comfy chair
Took the big bowl, nice and red
Forget about stringing popcorn
I’ll just eat it all, instead

He is my mystery, my shadow in the dark

He moves like the rain, leaving no mark

Obscure, in the night, he leads me to find

The thoughts that wander, inside my mind

Silent words, yet I can hear his voice, so clear

I move closer to him, becoming quite cavalier

He stretches his hands, a gesture towards me

Perhaps he is inviting, my thoughts to be free

To let go of my fears, and throw open the door

His secret communications, I can no longer ignore

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

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!”
