Babuska's sarmale
In a snowy Romanian village, during Christmas cheer,
my Babuska spun tales, both delightful and queer.
The tradition was sarmale, a savory delight,
Cabbage wrapped treasures, cooked all through the night.
Meat and rice nestled in leaves so green,
simmered in tomato, a feast so serene.
But woven in laughter and holiday charms
were Babuska’s stories with their quirky alarms:
"Behave well, dear children, lest you wish to be seen
in the pot with the sarmale, simmering and lean."
The children would giggle, eyes...

Jingling Loose Memories
Most people can't remember the last time
That they felt like a kid at Christmas time
But I can remember lying in bed with my heart racing
My nose filled with the most delicious scents in the world
I just wanted to sneak downstairs and gently unwrap a gift
Maybe play with it a little, only to rewrap it and tear into it later
Yes I was a naughty one, there was nothing like that morning eggnog
So sweet and creamy, I lapped at it as I played with my toy
Yes I remember being a kid at Christmas time
The moans and giggles as the stocking was...
That they felt like a kid at Christmas time
But I can remember lying in bed with my heart racing
My nose filled with the most delicious scents in the world
I just wanted to sneak downstairs and gently unwrap a gift
Maybe play with it a little, only to rewrap it and tear into it later
Yes I was a naughty one, there was nothing like that morning eggnog
So sweet and creamy, I lapped at it as I played with my toy
Yes I remember being a kid at Christmas time

Santa Baby
It's Santa baby
Climbing down midnight's chimney
The stocking filler
Be nice and naughty
You'll get spankings and thankings
Cuz I've been watching
All the ho ho ho's
Down to put the X in Mas
While opening gifts
Climbing down midnight's chimney
The stocking filler
Be nice and naughty
You'll get spankings and thankings
Cuz I've been watching
All the ho ho ho's
Down to put the X in Mas
While opening gifts

My true love gave
12 Christmas presents
for the 12 days of
Christmas she gave me
1 gun from hell
2 burning heads
3 heaven guns
4 katana swords
5 Golden bodies
6 screaming maidens
7 Wonders of the World
8 Freaks of the Night
9 Ninjas dancing
10 Court Jesters
11 Pipe Bombs
12 Rocket Launchers
So my true love has
Given me the World
12 Christmas presents
for the 12 days of
Christmas she gave me
1 gun from hell
2 burning heads
3 heaven guns
4 katana swords
5 Golden bodies
6 screaming maidens
7 Wonders of the World

9 Ninjas dancing
10 Court Jesters
11 Pipe Bombs
12 Rocket Launchers
So my true love has
Given me the World

Festive Solitude
The holidays were quiet
how it all changed
through the years
empty seats at the dinner table
less laughter
So much emphasis
on one day
And this year
as schedules
and timing dictated
I spent it alone
and survived
But I would be lying
if I said I didn't miss the company
Or those smells of the feast
I never thought as I got older
that connection would be farther away
but it is
and I hope that when it finally happens
it will be about...

The Forbidden Frost (The Dark Secret of Santa)
Santa looked at the glowing green cylinder with sad eyes
A symbol of his own personal disgrace and a keeper of his greatest lie,
“A dark secret that punished an empire and destroyed his own flesh
That was denied family and now a peaceful rest,
“Regardless, if young Santa’s sin was created through infidelity
Whenever he looked upon his son Jack Frost, Santa felt guilt and misery,
“All Jack Frost ever wanted was acceptance, understanding and love
Instead of being discarded like a broken toy wasting away in cold mud,
“The...

Christmas Haikus / Nadolig Cerddi
Hark! The Double-Barrelled Angel Sang
Tinsel tears forest
Lumber heart felled her small tree,
Baubles glitter death.
Stealing Santa
Santa stole from kids
Pocket monies in grotto
Choked on snow ball, fired
Die Hard - The Imperfect Xmas Murder
Faulty fairy lights
Drunk wife, wet hands, lured to shock -
He never saw held baby.
Homeless Gift
Wrapped in sleeping bag
Cold turkey on pavement plate,

he looks for something to give her amidst the crowd
christmas isn’t a great time
to be in town hobbling around
with the aid of a stick at it, though, she’s worth it

Merry Christmas Everyone
It is Christmas
baubles on the trees
Merry Christmas songs
all over the shops
he sits at the curb
hands held out
he needs to go home
but he doesn't have fare
he wants to see his son
that his wife kept away
Merry Christmas
I gave him a dollar
the last piece in my purse
Merry Christmas
baubles on the trees
Merry Christmas songs
all over the shops
he sits at the curb
hands held out
he needs to go home
but he doesn't have fare
he wants to see his son
that his wife kept away
Merry Christmas
I gave him a dollar
the last piece in my purse
Merry Christmas

A Christmas Quarrel.
Twas Christmas day in the workhouse
when Ebenezer's pappy died,
leaving Scrooge poor as a church mouse,
that Christmas day in the workhouse.
Haunted it gave him cause to grouse
scrimped, slaved and saved he never cried,
On Christmas day in the workhouse
when Ebenezer's pappy, died.
~
He got chained to work but got rich
and worked his workers nigh to death,
with tiny mind he penny pinched
crippled his workers as he got rich.
He had an itch an' he scratched it
worked...
