SEASON'S GREETING
I'm too cheap to send you all a card, so maybe this will suffice LoL
Season's greetings to all here
I wish you all a life of joy
so hoist your eggnog, tea, or beer
whatever drink that you employ
Gather those you love around
in a festive hall and celebrate
take comfort in their raucous sound
and join right in, don't hesitate
Lay pen aside for a short while
and chase the rhymes out of your head
take time to live and laugh and smile
enjoy the yule season instead
Should you find yourself alone
or burdened by your worry
count the blessings that you own
and hug a friend who's small and furry
So during this most special time
with festive tree and wreath on door
whether in warm or chilly clime
remember what the season's for
To all here at Neopoet..................Stan Holliday

Ahh! Stan. ( Better than a card )
Have a good holiday, enjoy yourself - but not to much.
I like this stanza - and so will Xena:
Should you find yourself alone
or burdened by your worry
count the blessings that you own
and hug a friend who's small and furry.
Loads of love Mand xxxxxx

I AM ALSO
I am also
As miserly
As thee
That’s why i too write poetry
As it comes to me
Tis for free
Have a whiskey off me
But pay for it will ye
Its Americano Canadian philosophy
Know ye.

Stan
Stan,
I want a card aswell...I don't get many so I need as many as I can get to feel worthwhile and less lonely!!
Great poem my friend.
If we had spotlight, this one should have been there throughout the Xmas season.
regards,
HS

Stan.
I'm just shallow and materialistic!
Only kidding about the card...a poem is much more original.
