Sleigh bells tinkling in the wind
thunder of the reindeer's hooves
as they climb up high into the sky
it's Christmas eve and all is quiet
Colourful fairy lights are glinting
pale starlight pointing out the way
snow sparkling like diamond flakes
trees lit up and dressed with baubles
Such a wondrous hush blankets all sound
as if the world is paused on bated breath
waiting for the birth of that special child
for this is the true meaning of this night
Not presents, or stuffing oneself with food
and drinking a fair few tots of this and that
if you believe or not, take time to remember
this day is not about every day pleasures
Worship the true spirit of Christmas
it will enrich you in your daily strife
return if you can to the wonder of a child
as down the stairs they run and stop short
Their eyes on beanstalks as they espy
presents piled up high under the tree
so this Christmas pause and reflect
and remember the real purpose of this day

On the road to no where
To the very end
A sign just read
Lands end
No where else to go
The road just falls away
Rock and cliffs
Beneath your feet
All the rest fall into the sea
flying above seagulls
The sunshines
The skies blue
The glow of the sun
A cafe to rest your weary feet a small shop to by a gift to take away
To say you been to lands end
To visit for the day

It’s Coming the Day is Near!
The scary sound of a haunting Ghost
Goblin screams to see who could scream the loudest
A Witch on her broom stick Doth flies by
The heavens darken, lightening strikes across the sky
The floor woodworks squeaks
Here comes the Ghost …It’s … You … it seeks
The Door creaks open he’s there for you
You shiver underneath the sheets
Your lips are starting … to turn blue
I think he has seen you hiding there
He touches you with bony hand
Red Blotches appear where fingers touched
Oh! My God it’s blood that gooey stuff
The clock strikes 12, away you run
He’s after you, now ain’t that fun
Now Father Death is chasing you
Where should you hide, you don’t have a clue
A Ghostly figure wears his head upside down
You don’t think it so funny, it’s no time to clown
His livid eerie eyes peeks at you
OH! My God what should you do?
He chases you down the hall
You trip and down the stairs you fall
Ghostly screams and ringing of your bell
You think he is ready to take you to that place called hell
Put away your gun my dear
A sigh of relief
It’s your kids, Treat or Treat
It’s only Halloween … saved by Hershey’s candy!

Thanksgiving Turkeys Unite!
Join the Turkey Union
Gobble up! It’s time to flap your feathers
Bang your Turkey drums and spice up your holiday dressing
Your entitled to a last Turkey dance before they put you in the oven of no return!
Grab a strikers sign and pace up and down in front of
Your Grocers
Donate your feathers to a good cause
Scratch your feet upon the dirt and declare war on the Indians, after all they introduced you to the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock and look what they did to you
They pulled out all of your beautiful feathers and made a Turkey feast out of you!
And called it Thanksgiving
Yea, Thanksgiving for them, but how about us?
They ate my wife a beautiful young turkey hen and the children growing up, are on next years menu!
How shameful, humans over stuffed with turkey!
Don’t they ever get enough!
We’re peace loving Turkeys
We never put an apple in their mouths and cooked them over a spit
Oh! Those cannibals!
The delicious aroma of the cooking Turkey is interlacing deliciously all through the house!
Don’t forget the Cranbury sauce and the delicious mashed potatoes with the Turkey gravy and apple pie for desert.
And don’t forget to sign-up for your Turkey Union Card
They need your support!
Turkeys Unite!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Your Thanksgiving Poet

Santa has had to deliver presents once a year for 1,000 years
He made a bet with an angel
If he could not put his curling rock closer than the angels
Without the rock going into a fishing hole then he would have to be nice
Instead of killing people
So the bet has expired and now Santa doesn't care
If you're naught or nice
All he wants to do is kill as many people on Christmas as he can
He kills a dog by kicking it into a fan
He kills a woman by drowning her in the egg nog
Santa puts a turkey leg in a man's head and through his brain
Santa uses a tree star as a ninja star and kills a woman with it
He pins the Jewish deli owner to the wall with a menorah in the neck
He has his musk ox eat a valet
He kills a mugger with a candy cane
He runs over grandpa with his sleigh
Santa electrocutes a bouncer at a strip club with a stripper pole
Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus
And he's coming to get you!

About this poem:
I start watching Christmas movies on November 1 through Christmas. This was my first Netflix rental for this Christmas season. I highly recommend it unless you're not into seeing Santa as a bad guy.

I want a day off for Christmas
Only a day off will do
Don't want a dog or dinky tinker toy
I want a day off to play and enjoy
I want a day off for Christmas
Only a day off will do
Mom says a day off won't pay the bills
I'll just do free activities
Like video games and watching movies
I can see me now on Christmas morning
Well rested up
Oh a joy and what suprise when I open up my eyes
And see nine days of vacation off in a row
I want a day off for Christmas
Only a day off will do
No mean bosses, coworkers, and bad working conditions
I only want a day off work
To play and enjoy
And a day off work wants me too!

About this poem:
Looking forward to the holiday breaks I am going to get starting with deer hunting weekend, four days for Thanksgiving, and nine days off for Christmas. I was so happy I got yesterday off as I have worked about 20 Saturdays since I started working in April. This is a parody of I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas.

Un der the waterfall
She stood
Her heavenly naked body on show for all to see
Her sensual curves she glides her fingers cold to the touch
She tilts her head to the drenching water eyes shut hypnotic to the cold falling flowing rapid flow
The cascading water
Cleaning
Cooling
The feel of the deep cold water on her skin
Chilling her from top to toe
She turns dancing in the fall
Drenching every part Cleansing her sole
Purification
Her goal to be one with nature one with her sole
Cleansed from life mark now cleansed and reborn
She face the deep pool with in
In she dives swims to the waters edge
Her towel she collects
Cleansed her day begins

Santa Santa
Slip a Packer's jacket under the tree for me
Been an aweful good boy
Santa Santa
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa Santa
A 2014 corvette too
Light blue
I'll wait up for you Santa
Santa Santa
So hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the gals I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you'll check off my Christmas list
Santa Santa
I want a jet ski
For me
Been an angel all year
Santa Santa
So hurry down the chimney tonight
So hurry
Tonight

About this poem:
A parody of Eartha Kitt's Santa Baby. I'm sure there lots of other things I would add to the list, like a house and millions of dollars so I could retire in luxury.
