Antler Ride
I heard the bells ring Christmas Day
As joyfully I chewed away,
The reindeer said, “WHO
On my antlers does chew?”
“I’m guilty,” was all I could say.
“I’m leaving,” the reindeer announced,
“Come down or you’ll surely get bounced.”
“No, I can hang on,
For the time that we’re gone,”
I foolishly squeaked and pronounced.
I shivered and held on so tight,
This trip might just cause me a fright,
The wind whistled past,
We were going so fast,
“Merry Christmas to all and goodnight.”
Christmas Acrostic
My effort at a double acrostic forced me to forego the rhyme factor, but I’ve tried to put together a Christmas message, using the first and last letters, read downwards. If we keep these things in mind, maybe we’ll help to improve someone’s life just a little bit.
And before you ask, no, it didn’t snow here, except up in the hills. This varied thrush visited the feeder a couple of years ago, but he looked so pretty on the snow, I wanted to put him in this post.
Knowing Yule is cominG, It's time to trim the treE, Now that I am senior, and the claN, Depends on mE. Need to fill the lardeR, Extra goodie-food will be, sO, Special in the coming dayS, So smile and so will I. (Yikes! Where's the rhyme? Gone to the North Pole.) And when it comes to Christmas nighT, No stores will open staY, Done with shopping, all's class A, Good times at home remaiN. If Christmas music fills our minD, Vast troubles leave us alL, In giving freely, as we dO No need for price on luV. Good will's enough and that is freE. Ta-dah-dahdah-deedee.
Y’all have a wonderful Christmas time, y’hear?
And don’t pay too much attention to what those birds say. Their jabbering is for the birds.
The Jolly Holly
Same old holly berries, same old food. Where’s a juicy earthworm when you need one?
Sigh…. Well, there’s nothing to do but to go for it. Hmm … let’s see … I wonder if they all taste the same.
I don’t have teeth, so I guess I just have to swallow the thing whole. Not very ladylike, but here goes. Gulp!
Oh man! These are big enough to choke a horse. Good thing I’m not a horse. Do I look like a Christmas decoration?
This is the last one … OOPS! Just about fell off my perch. I guess that means I’ve had enough.
Have you tasted holly berries? Oh, of course, you did. Little ones, and Luscious ones, You're sitting right amid.
But it is best if you're a bird, as Everyone does know, Red is pretty Red is ripe Yet stomach aches can grow. So snag the berries off the branch, Nab that one by your feet, And after tasting, Can you tell, Keen as you are to eat? "These berries certainly are great," I heard the robin say, "Mushy, minty, maybe I'll Eat all I can today."
If you’ve managed to get through my little rhyme, you may have noticed that the first letters of each line, read downwards, give a little message. Do you see it?
