Most Commented Holidays Poems (355)

It's time again to enjoy the best present
Ten days off from my crappy job
Ten days away from mean people
Ten days away from multinational corporate greed
They haul over 570 million out of this place a year
The employees get four percent of that
Where does the rest go?
Where does the rest go from all the factories around the world?
What kind of Christmas are all the factory workers going to get?
Are they going to get ten days off too?
Or are they just going to get Christmas off if they're lucky
I'll bet a lot of them have second jobs and they never get a day off
At least in other countries they have national health care
We have horrible health care coverage
One employee got hauled away in an ambulance because of lifting
Now he has to pay a 20,000 hospital bill
His story is one of many
He gets to pay all this money the company should be paying
And the manager of this place dresses up as a penguin
And gives out small candy canes
I'd like to tell him where to put the one I got!

For all the things that you do for me,
For being my rock and crutch,
For always caring and believing,
For loving me so much,

Through all the mistakes and ups and downs,
You've always been by my side,
For showing me how to live and love,
For being my council and guide,

My conscience, values and principles,
All the goodness that I possess,
These gifts that you've taught and shown,
I'm able to honour and express,

On this day and every day,
I'll always be your loving son,
Thank you for each and everything,
Thank you for being my mum.....

The story of a man who goes insane
He tries to murder his wife and child
But only ends up killing a black man and freezing to death
Lost in a hedge maze
But is this story that much fantasy?
What about the killer in Las Vegas?
What about the countless nameless victims all over this land
People who's only crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time
What is the solution to all this madness?
How do we create people who don't go nuts?
Or people who are totally sane but still commit horrific crimes
Fathers who are nice to their children
That would be a start
And mothers who actually think ahead and have kids they want
And kids they can afford to have
Gun control
I don't own a gun
Because I don't believe in pointing a deadly weapon at any one
I don't believe in taking them away from people though
Cause then only the criminals would have guns
Chicago is a good example of this

Soylent Green
It's People!
And it's delicious!
We take only the finest people to make our Soylent Green wafers
They look like Triscuits
but they have all the nutrition you need
When you're on the go and just don't have time to cook a meal
Soylent Green taste really good
For a meal or just a snack
You'll love em!
From Nabisco

Three days to get there
Bangor, Maine is where
Saw Acadia National Park
Ate some lobster on a lark
Saw Steven King's home and it was eerie
Found it thanks to my best buddy Siri
She told me how to get there and back
My only complaint is the music I had to lack
While I waited for her to tell me where to turn
Spending too much time on my phone I could have been burned
It's dangerous to play with these phones going down the road
You could get squashed like a toad
I saw Niagara Falls on the way back
The good view from Canada was all I lacked
Then it was to Sandusky, Ohio to walk on the beach by Lake Erie
The next day I was on the beach by Lake Michigan, you should have seen me!
Since Monday it's been daily trips to Madison to Chuck E Cheese
Played at a video game place for 15 bucks with ease
Then to Dubuque to eat some cold guacamole with Doritos
Play some video games, my favorite Pacman was broke, that's the way it goes
I went to a record store in Janesville
Got my latest Adam Sandler CD, what a thrill
Ate some Panda Express
The sauce got on my pants, what a mess!
So today it's off to Davenport for Ruby's, Goodwill and the mall
Lots of dollars paid for it all

Be afraid, be very afraid (The Fly 1986)
I want to go back(Cube Zero)
I just can't take no pleasure in killing(Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974)
You want to know what happens to an eye ball when it gets punctured(Hitcher)
Whatever you do, don't fall asleep(Nightmare on Elm Street)
You're doomed, you're all doomed(Friday the 13th)
It's Halloween, everyone's entitled to one good scare(Halloween 1978)
What an excellent day for an exorcism(the Exorcist 1973)
I am eternal, I am the eater of worlds and children(IT 1990)
Hi, I'm Chucky, wanna play?(Child's Play 1988)
We have such sights to show you(Hellraiser 1987)
Join us!(Evil Dead 1981)
Sometimes dead is better(Pet Sematary 1989)

2012- cut my finger using a straight knife to try and carve a pumpkin
on Halloween night because I didn't have my saws with me
2018- injured my foot by banging it into a chair after a phone call from my nephew
who wanted his son to have a football team logo, they got Homer instead
that injury lasted for two months and caused me to have foot nip at a
Packers football game because I couldn't wear boots
2023- cut my finger after a phone call from my nephew in jail wanting me to
send him money, I didn't answer it, but it upset me and distracted me long
enough to cut my finger carving Tiffany, from the movie Bride of Chucky

There is only one and it’s major,
Started by a devil masquerading as saviour.
It is over 5700 miles away,
And to everyone’s horror and dismay,
13000 Ukranian civilians are dead,
Over 7.8 million refugees have fled.
Day after day bombarded,
And plunged into darkness,
Were towns and cities in Ukraine,
by bombs and missiles that maimed,
And turned buildings and streets to rubble,
And its people to dust. This is not us.
We don’t see this kind of trouble.
Not here anyway, Not in the West.
For them there is no rest,
Only a yearning for turning
to former day from endless night.
They see only by candlelight
and the glow of fires burning.
There is no “War on Christmas”
Not here. This is foolishness,
Here there are just many well-meaning folks,
Raising glasses making toasts,
Wether “Merry Christmas “ or “Happy holidays”
May goodwill guide us all our days.

Happy New Year everyone!

I got another Netflix in the mail yesterday
It was Simpson's Christmas 2
In it Homer becomes a prank monkey for Mr. Burns
In another episode, the kids get stuck at school because of snow
And the last one I watched was about Homer being the Grinch
When I was a kid there was no way to watch shows other than TV
You had a TV Guide that told you when shows would come on
I always looked out for Rudolph and watched it every year
Now they have done away with DVDs and VHS rental stores
I miss going there and picking out a movie, it was fun
I have to admit it is far easier, not to mention cheaper just using your phone
Not to mention music
I used to save a long time to get music on records
Now all I have to do is type the song into my phone
Sting used to make one million a year off of just one song
Every Breathe You Take
I wonder how much a hit song makes for an artist today
Not much I bet

My dad was in the Navy
He went to Italy and Iceland
He served from 1954 to 1958
He didn't like Iceland because it was so dark part of the year
He regretted not staying in
Especially when his company cancelled his retirement pension in 1981
At the time he made his decision he was making good money
Better than he got paid in the Navy
How was he supposed to know the unions would get creamed
He is not alone
Sadly, many veterans don't get the support they should have
I hope that could change
Maybe next year
We will elect a president who really cares about these people
As much as they care about all of us
