About this poem:
I have gotten many gifts over the years. I wore my sister's gift of a Galena Golf Club shirt on Christmas since she and her whole family didn't show up for Christmas. It would have added 19 people to the celebration. It was just me and a friend, my mom and brother, and my nephew who wouldn't join us as his dad was mad at him for not getting a job for over five years now.Good Drive On Good Friday
I drove to the Kennedy Mall in Dubuque
I went to Hallmark and got my favorite ornament
It's Clark Griswold from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
He is holding up a knot of Christmas lights to put on the roof of the house
There is dialogue from that scene that plays when you press a button
I also got The Far Side page a day calendar, one for me and one for a friend
I drove around after that and just looked at all the cars and all the shoppers
Then I drove to Kieler and played a pinball game, but the ball got stuck
Then I drove to Walmart in Platteville and played my motorcycle racing game
I got second as my best out of three times
I counted the road signs on the way and averaged over 10 signs every mile
Mile marker signs, speed limit signs, advertising signs, wrong way signs
Lots of metal posts with information on them
The best part of driving for me is singing
So I had about two hours of that
I hope your Thanksgiving and Black Friday were fun too!

About this poem:
I am thankful for these four days off so I can do some fun things.Planets and other stuff
Saturn and Jupiter were close together
So close they were over top of each other this last week
I had clouds, so I missed out on that
I did see it the next day
They are separated by 456 million miles
Those distances are hard to imagine
Like the distances between my family members
We used to have 25, yesterday was 5
Coronavirus had something to do with it
Not buying gifts for everyone was more prevalent in the outcome though
I did get twenty dollars which I bought a History and Day of Calendar
I also got some gremlins from Betty Jane Candies
Pecans, caramel, and chocolate

About this poem:
Christmas is over for another year and I got more than I thought I would get.Christmas Shopping in November
I have always done my Christmas shopping early
Some may say I'm kinda squirrely
They love to shop on Thanksgiving and Black Friday
I say no way!
Get all that materialism out of the way early
So you can avoid a bunch of bargain hunter who behave too surely
I went yesterday on November first
To avoid all those people who behave the worst
Thanksgiving should be a day off for all
Not another reason to go to the mall
Some people never get a day off
Working seasonal jobs even if they have to cough
To give presents to some relatives they see only once a year
Getting together with people, if they weren't related, they'd steer clear
So now that I'm done with all the present buying
I can focus on things that won't leave me crying
Like Christmas movies and shows like Alf's Turkey In The Straw
About Alf befriending a homeless man who steers clear of the law
Or good food like turkey and pumpkin pie
And Peppermint Patty chewing out Charlie Brown
While he stand there with a sigh
It's more fun when we're not trying to save a buck
And if we do it right, we'll be in luck
For a Thanksgiving and Christmas that will be filled with joy
I hope yours is also one where you can say "Oh Boy!"
May all your holidays be shiny and bright
So we can all have a silent night
Some may say I'm kinda squirrely
They love to shop on Thanksgiving and Black Friday
I say no way!
Get all that materialism out of the way early
So you can avoid a bunch of bargain hunter who behave too surely
I went yesterday on November first
To avoid all those people who behave the worst
Thanksgiving should be a day off for all
Not another reason to go to the mall
Some people never get a day off
Working seasonal jobs even if they have to cough
To give presents to some relatives they see only once a year
Getting together with people, if they weren't related, they'd steer clear
So now that I'm done with all the present buying
I can focus on things that won't leave me crying
Like Christmas movies and shows like Alf's Turkey In The Straw
About Alf befriending a homeless man who steers clear of the law

While he stand there with a sigh
It's more fun when we're not trying to save a buck
And if we do it right, we'll be in luck

May all your holidays be shiny and bright
So we can all have a silent night

About this poem:
Already watching Thanksgiving and Christmas movies. I started off with Charlie Brown's Thanksgving and also watched the best of Saturday Night Live's Best Thanksgiving sketches.New Ornament
When I first moved out I spent 80 dollars on my Christmas tree
Tree was 30
Lights were about 20
Ornaments, star and garland about 30
That was 1996
I have added different ornaments since then
I try to add one new one each year
Snoopy, Simpsons, Southpark, Bugs Bunny, hockey puck
That last few years I have added National Lampoon's Christmas
This is the first time I have spent over 100 dollars on three ornaments
It has Clark, his wife Ellen, and his two kids, Audrey and Rusty
You connect them together with a special power cord
When you press one, then they act out scenes from the movie
Each one lights up as they talk to each other
The whole thing revolves around scenes related to getting the Christmas tree
It takes about three minutes
I can't wait to put it on my tree this weekend

I had a hard time spending that much money on ornaments, but it is so cool, I'm glad I did!
online today!Reindeer Flu
You remember that Christmas a few years ago
Where you waited all night for 'Ol Santy to show
Well I heard the reason and it just might be true
The whole bunch came down with the dang reindeer flu
The cowboy elves had been busy all day
A' doctorin' Donner and scattering' hay
Dancer and Prancer were febrile and snotty
Comet and Cupid went constantly potty
Hallucinatory dementia was rampant
Why, Blitzen imagined that he was Jed Clampett
Dasher got schizo and thought he was Trigger
While Vixen's obsessions got bigger and bigger
By noon Santy knew he should find new substitutes
So the cowboy elves went out searching' recruits
They scoured the Arctic for suitable prey
And brought them together to hook to the sleigh
When Santy climbed up it was like a bad dream
He stared down the lines at the substitute team
A bull moose as old as the planks on the ark
With a head as big as a hammerhead shark
Stood hitched by a cow, Mrs.Santy's of course
Then next in the tugs was a Clydesdale horse.
He was paired with an elk whose antlers were crossed
An ostrich, a walrus, an old albatross
Were harnessed in line but the last volunteer
Was a blue heeler dog with only one ear
The cowboy elves gave a push to the sled
As Santy reared back, cracked his whip, then he said,
"On Cleo, on Leo, on Lefty and Jake
On Morpheus, Redondo, on Lupe and Snake.."
Smoke from the runners cut tracks in the snow
The team headed south, but where else could they go?
They started back East 'cause it got dark there first
And their luck, which was bad, got progressively worse
By the time they hit Kansas the tugs had gone slack
And all but the dog was now riding' in back
Santy was desperate. What on earth could he do?
When the lights of an airport hove into his view
Did they make it? you betcha, but there hangs the tale
Of how, on the Christmas they stayed on the trail
A man in Alaska said right after dawn
A low flying object passed over his lawn
He ran to the window and threw up the sash
And heard someone shouting, "For pete's sake, don't crash!"
"On Budget, on Thrifty, look out Alamo
I didn't take out insurance, you know
And you, Number Two, try harder, yer Avis
On Dollar, on Hertz, Rent-a-Wreck you can save us
An extra day's charge if we make it by nine
Though the drop-off will cost us a bundle this time
Merry Christmas", yelled Santy, but he was all smiles
'Cause at least he signed up for unlimited miles
So that's how it happened as best I recall
When it looked like that Christmas might not come at all
And the truth of the matter, we all owe a cheer
To the Wichita office of Rent-a-Reindeer
Where you waited all night for 'Ol Santy to show
Well I heard the reason and it just might be true

The cowboy elves had been busy all day
A' doctorin' Donner and scattering' hay

This was written one Christmas while ill with the flu. After the past couple of years, it would be nice to hear about the regular old flu. May this bring a good chuckle to you and may you all have a very Merry/Happy Christmas!

About this poem:
The Ten Commandments has been on TV before Palm Sunday for as long as I can remember. My favorite scenes are when Moses is being threatened with stoning when the slaves find out they have to make their bricks without straw and later when he throws the stone tablets with the ten commandments on them and he says, "Those who will not live by the law, shall die by the law!"
Christmas Quandary
'TWAS A WHILE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
'Twas a while before Christmas
For me and my spouse.
She searched all the catalogs,
And I scrolled the mouse.
We're looking for something
That we thought would do,
As great Christmas presents
For each of you.
Try as we did
'twas not to avail,
Though all of the stores
Had wonderful sales.
Yet - just before Christmas
We're still with all doubts,
As to what sort of gifts
We are thinking about.
We pondered and stewed
About what we could do,
To find the right thing
That would suit you.
What if it's something
That you'd never use,
Or - 'cause you have it-
What could we choose?
It's such a dilemma,
It's caused much concern,
We wanted it personal,
And not for return.
The decision - quite taxing,
We're at our wits end,
Please don't be offended -
With something to spend.

Turkey
Don't eat me!
Eat something else
How about some tasty venison
You are going deer hunting today
They cause a lot of car accidents
How many turkeys have caused injury?
None that I know of!
We want to be free
We don't want to be stuffed
This Thanksgiving tradition needs to stop
There's plenty to eat without me anyways
Mashed potatoes and gravy
Stuffing
Pumpkin Pie
Cranberry Sauce
Green bean casserole
And sweet potatoes
Give turkeys a break and have a happy Thanksgiving!

About this poem:
Celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday by deboning a turkey today. It is the only time I buy a real turkey. The rest of the year I just buy it in a package already formed into thin slices.
Silent walk
Heat of the sun
The motion of the water laps the sandy beach
Cool breeze
The heat envelopes ones senses
The gentle breeze
Blows within the trees
Sound of quite tone
Fills ones ears
One is at peace
As one walks the waters edge
Bare foot water laps the feet cooling chilling
One walks the waters edge
The motion of the water laps the sandy beach
Cool breeze
The heat envelopes ones senses
The gentle breeze
Blows within the trees
Sound of quite tone
Fills ones ears
One is at peace
As one walks the waters edge
Bare foot water laps the feet cooling chilling
One walks the waters edge
