Ho! Ho! Ho! Wow…. what a great year it’s been! Unforgettable. (I know… I tried.) Oh well… let’s make the best of it. Here are my annual holiday offerings. Making A List is the poem that was included in this year’s Christmas card and Santa Didn’t Stop is a bonus offering for my loyal readers, who just can’t get enough of the writings of Stash. I hope you enjoy them and find them amusing. Take care my friends. Stay well and see ya next time. Stash ♥️
Making A list
I’m making a list
And checking it twice.
That chocolate cake…
Sure looks nice.
So many deserts…
I have a tear in my eye.
Cut me a slice
Of that blueberry pie.
Chocolate pudding…
I’m living the dream…
Can I have it topped
With a gob of whipped cream?
Decorated cookies,
Piled high on a plate.
Please pass them along…
Because I just can’t wait.
That clear glass bowel…
It’s really an eyeful.
Must take lotsa work
To make such a trifle.
It’s Christmas time
And we send this greeting…
A reminder that much joy
Can be found in the eating.
Alexis and Stash
Santa Didn’t Stop
Santa didn’t stop at my house.
I stayed up late, quiet as a mouse.
But he didn’t make it down my chimney…
Didn’t have a gift to give me.
I left milk and cookies on a plate.
It was my attempt at Santa bait.
But my little ruse didn’t do the trick…
He may be old but his mind is quick.
So there I sat, glum and empty handed,
With none of the things that I’d demanded.
Twas a hard lesson that I learned sadly,
A great disappointment… I’d acted badly.
Santa has a magical vision…
From the beginning knew of my decision
To stealthily catch him in the act,
As he emptied the contents of his pack.
Learn little children, from what I did.
It was a naughty deed, when I hid.
When mom says that it’s time for bed,
Remember what I just said.
Quickly trot off to your slumber room,
Knowing that Santa will be arriving soon.
Don’t try to pull the wool over his eyes
Or you may suffer my sorry surprise.
(If Santa doesn’t see you by himself,
You’ll be exposed by his Elf on a Shelf.
St. Nick doesn’t always play by the rules,
So sleep tight and have a happy yule.)
