i’ve got the whiskers and saggy hat
a pillow to augment the paunch
over the thermals a fire brigade suit
and leather boots for added raunch
so come My Queen let’s engage
beneath the mistletoe
my lap’s your throne my heart your slave
my arms your wrap and bow
——————————-
to everyone who celebrates Christmas:
Merry Christmas
to everyone who has leave:
Happy Holidays
and to One and All
A Safe, Healthy and Prosperous New Year
…see you in january…
Oh I love this poem John. Many blessings
Amber

“God put Santa Claus on earth to remind us that Christmas is ‘sposed to be a happy time.”
A few hours ago i had an email from an old pagan friend of mine who has been reading the comments today and regarding this one she wrote, “It has to be the closest we come to ultimate delusion when one fictional character creates another fictional character.”
She’s good. lol
Very nice – a blessed Christmas to you and yours.
Alicia,
Thank You

Lovely these letters and warm as well.
I don’t like Christmas, for some reasons, I’ll stay with a friend of mine and her children, anyway…. this is no reason not to wish you and family all the best, not these days, but always….Till next year!!!!!!!!
So kind, Rosa.
i hope you enjoy the time with your friend and her children, that
should be nice.
Take good care.

Hi John, Haven’t heard a peep from you in ages. Are you actually taking a vacation from writing? I hope to lure you back by asking you to participate in a collaborative poem. Laura M. has started it, I’ve written the second stanza and if you choose to participate, the next stanza is yours to take us where you will. Please go here for an explanation of the form:
https://grieflessons.wordpress.com/2014/12/31/collaborative-poem-in-process/
Please write your third stanza as a comment, and I’ll add it to the poem when I receive it. If you wish, suggest the next poet you’d like to add to the poem. You can either invite this person and send him/her a link to my post or send me his/her name and email or blog address and I’ll invite him/her.
If I don’t hear from you in a few days, I’ll take it you are not interested in participating, but I hope you do. Happy New Year, Judy.
Happy New Year to You and Yours
Dear Judy
Always
John
Sorry, I don’t do collaborations
but it was kind of you to think of me and to ask.
Fun and sweet poem. Happy New Year to you!
