No Place For The Holidays
There's no place for the holidays
It got taken away by meth
There's no place for the holidays
And the holidays will never be the same
Back in 2018 we had our last
But the last two went right into the can
We had a home but only five showed up
And we had the same again last year
There is no place for the holidays
In 2021 we're on our own
There is no place for the holidays
And it looks like the next time I see these people will be at the next funeral
It got taken away by meth
There's no place for the holidays
And the holidays will never be the same
Back in 2018 we had our last
But the last two went right into the can
We had a home but only five showed up
And we had the same again last year
There is no place for the holidays
In 2021 we're on our own
There is no place for the holidays
And it looks like the next time I see these people will be at the next funeral

About this poem:
My mom went in a nursing home, so my favorite three holidays will have no family in them, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, because her house got sold this summer. This is a parody of There's No Place Like Home For The Holidays.
Thanks Giving/Giving Thanks
The meaning of T’day has transcended
from its beginning: our sharing together
with indigenous people who innocently gave
in times of sickness and chilling weather.
From those days when we readily took
from them all of which they shared
while ’round the table of community we
partook of the meal that was prepared.
To their trusting welcome, we replied
with greed and want of possession
so much so that by force we took much
of their lands with egregious aggression.
Throughout the years this did continue,
this giving then taking back more,
until with little reservation they live
with minuscule resources left in store.
Dispersed amidst the clatter of our laws
with pride, strength, resilience, determination
First People have sought legal ways to
reclaim some of what was once their nation.
On this day, may we celebrate Thanksgiving,
by learning to judge our wealth by care—
not by what and how much we own—and
take steps toward a world we all can share.

About this poem:
Wishing each of you a Healthy and Happy Thanksgiving!!!Being Dead Ain't Easy
I got bitten by a zombie about a month ago
And boy do I feel guilty
I have this unquenchable hunger for human flesh
Coupled by my belief that eating people is really really wrong
Because you never really get full
I remember in the good ol days of eating pizza(especially at Chuck E Cheese)
And feeling good about it
I could always pull into McDonalds after a hard day and feel good right away
There is no feeling good as a zombie
If you don't eat people you get horrible pain all through your body
I call it screaming pain
As all you can really do is scream your bloody head off
If you eat someone then the guilt is another torture
You don't scream as much as want to cry nonstop
Not to mention the fact that after a month of rot I don't look so hot
So for all you living out there
Take my advice and stay safe
And be sure to stay the hell away from me!!

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!"Thanks Santa
Thank you Santa for the many gifts you have given me over the years
Wonder and joy
From you being able to fly around the world in one night
Giving presents to everyone
Back when I was little you only had about four billion people
Now it's over seven billion
I guess you have to eat the cookies a lot faster
You were nice to Rudolph when you made him your lead reindeer
You keep an eye on me so I will be nice and not naughty
Thanks for stretch Armstrong, though he didn't last long when I pulled him apart
Thanks for Evel Knievel and his powered motorcycle
So I could pretend to jump the Grand Canyon and not really break my bones
Thanks for Darth Vader's TIE Advanced x1 starfighter and doll
So I could pretend to choke people with my mind
And blow up planets with the Death Star that was about 75 miles in diameter
Thanks for eating my mom's cookies because she is a great baker
And thanks for not quitting, so other children can experience the joy I had
And have!
Thanks Santa!

About this poem:
Santa was a big part of my childhood and still is a part of my Christmas celebration. The best depiction of him is in the cartoon Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer.Snow
We had our first real Christmas snow today and yesterday
I should have gone out and made something out of it
I made a snowman back in November
I made a Rudolph pumpkin carving on December 1
I etched it so when you put a light inside it glows orange-red
Around Rudolph
It should stop snowing around one in the afternoon
In a snowstorm dumping five inches on 2,000 square miles
Which is about the size of Grant and Iowa County, Wisconsin
There are 5 quintillion snowflakes
That's a 5 followed by 18 zeros.
A cubic foot of snow contain about one billion crystals
If you watch The Grinch Who Stole Christmas(Jim Carrey)
It takes place on a very small part of a snow crystal
Other movies with snow and ice
Frozen, where Elsa can create ice and Olaf from her majic
Frosty the Snowman who comes to life with a hat and then a kiss from Crystal
Groundhog Day where Phil knows it's tomorrow by the snow on the ground
The Shining where Jack is frozen in the cold hedge maze
And The Thing where an alien preys on people in the snowy Antarctica
I should have gone out and made something out of it

About this poem:
I love snow, it's so pretty!Last Thanksgiving?
I went to my Mom's for Thanksgiving
I was surprised to see my great niece and nephew Lexi and Hayden there
Lexi just got her drivers license and borrowed her Mom's car
I did not know if we were going to have a meal at home or at McDonald's
We had no meal together last year
So this year I just went over and found out
If I had did that for Christmas I would have had room in my stomach for ham
But I went to China Buffet instead
Inspired by the movie A Christmas Story
We had ham, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie
I don't know what next year will bring
Will Mom be in a home?
Will my nephew Shane be homeless?
But at least we got together
I was surprised to see my great niece and nephew Lexi and Hayden there
Lexi just got her drivers license and borrowed her Mom's car
I did not know if we were going to have a meal at home or at McDonald's
We had no meal together last year
So this year I just went over and found out
If I had did that for Christmas I would have had room in my stomach for ham

About this poem:
I have to wait and see if we have a Christmas get together. My sister and her kids have boycotted my Mom and Shane and want nothing to do with them. It's a shame because there were 24 people that came over for Christmas back in 2018, 2019 the total was 5.

HALLOWS’ EVE
A Cold black night with a full moon
A howl on the wind sings an eerie tune
It is Hallows' Eve and the creatures are roaming
There are eyes everywhere – can see them glowing
As the night goes on anyone can see
Them roaming all around – different looking beings
There are zombies, witches, goblins and ghosts
It is hard to count which has the most
Whines – screams – growls – howls
The Devil and his demons are on the prowl
They are wandering the streets and roads outside
Knocking on doors demanding to come inside
Fear is rampant as they become hungry
If you don’t feed them – things could get ugly
Not daring to turn on or off the light
Knowing they’ll keep coming all night
There’s a knock on the door – oh no!
Will it be a friend or foe?
Opening the door carefully to see
A little voice pipes up “Trick or Treat”!
