Haiku Friday #15: The Shortest Day

Winter Solstice Time
The shortest day of the year
Goodbye Mr. Sunshine

Thank you to Heidi
I thought I was a wise ass
And not a wise owl.

Muchas gracias
Me amiga for the bling
Lots of love for you

Is it Christmas yet??

I’m ready for gifts
And the boy’s look of delight
As he unwraps them.

Thank you everyone

Here are 13 Strange December celebrations:

We’re in the Money!!

Sorry. I’m un-Fun today. I forgot to sign up.
Oh, gals, I know you probably don’t really give a rat’s ass, but I won!!! I won round two of the playoffs. This means? The worst I can do for Fantasy Football is second place. That’s right! I am going to the Super Bowl. I will get [...]

The Days When Inky, Blinky, Pinky & Clyde Win

There are the days when the Tetris of your life all comes together in a square, line, funky squiggle this way and funky squiggle that way. They all meld and fit together so perfectly all is right with the world. You feel so good about your performance that you know somewhere you’ve gotten a 1up. [...]
