Myopia Xmas
Kissed beneath the mistletoe, I learned it was my folly.
For instead of mistletoe, we found that it was holly.
So I visited our florist and spent a little dough
So that we could kiss again beneath the mistletoe.

Fun News
Litigation is imperative to end this maudlin folly.
We must petition powers that be to make the news more jolly.
Fill it up with cheerful stuff and cover up the crime.
Scrub the whole environment to cover up the grime.
There isn’t any heartache and prejudice is over.
Cover up the poison ivy. Embellish the clover.
Dealing with reality simply isn’t fun,
so let’s whitewash reality until the the world is done.
Reality shows are way more fun than boring old reality.
So let’s cheer up the news again with fictional banality!
Prompt words today are folly, maudlin, petition, imperative and litigation. Image by Markus Spiske on Unsplash

The Greatest Story Ever Told
Join us in the circle that chronicles the blend
of our different stories that lead to just one end.
Our ceiling is the clouds and one wall is the west
and the north and south and east combine to form the rest.
Raven speaks our history that’s written on the sands
of the mighty ocean that touches all the lands,
pounding at their edges with insistent fists
gathering the surfaces that formerly it kissed.
Pulling all the rock slides roughly with its hands,
grinding all the boulders down to powdered sand.
This is one grand story that none of us should miss .
Have you any story more relevant than this?
For The Sunday Whirl the prompt words are: room cloud any fist raven rock slide speak west story blend circle
Good Humor Rumor
Chocolate chip is best, but I’m amenable to berry
when we hit the ice cream aisle at the cash and carry.
Afterwards, we’ll both lie low until the carton’s finished,
for if we share our ice cream stash, it is too soon diminished.
But somehow when we’ve paid a visit to the frozen section,
it never seems to escape our neighbor’s keen detection.
Instant company always comes knocking at our door
when we get back home again to where we were before
So if you’re not prone to sharing , I really must advise,
that if you’re bearing ice cream, it’s best done in disguise.
Word prompts today are lie low, restriction, instant, berry. amenable
I admit this is the weirdest poem I’ve ever written. Forgive me,Robert Frost….
To be sung to the tune of “Nothing Could be Finer Than to be in Carolina!”
Couturier Extraordinaire
Nothing could be finer
than to be a dress designer
a hum di-i-i-i-in-ger.
Dealing with disaster,
sewing faster faster faster
on my Si-i-i-i-in-ger.
Nothing that they do can ever h-e-e-e-ex me
even fashion stalkers cannot ve-e-e-e-ex me.
Marketing their copies
to the stoners and hip-hoppies,
they can’t ma-a-a-a-at-ch me
Gleaning all my leavings,
they are surely misconceiving,
They can’t ca-a-a-a-a-tch me.
No one in the industry can best me.
All their machinations cannot test me.
That’s why nothing could be finer
than to be this dress designer
I give wa-a-a-a-ar-ning!!
for no one can beat me
and for sure they can’t repeat me
at ado-o-o-o-or-ning!!!!!!
I actually prefer the leaves of Dusty Miller to the flowers which are little yellow clumps that are rather non-assuming.
