I know what she wanted for Christmas,

A purple hippopotamus.

But due to a shipping error,

She got a chartreuse platypus.

This world is harsh and unforgiving,

Reach out a hand to help and it is bitten.

One of my better ways to deal with life,

Is to snuggle with my kitten.

Among my friends, you are my dearest,

For which in you I shall confide:

My life is viewed as full and bright,

But it’s empty, cold and dark inside.

2016 was an ugly, brutal ride,

Time for something good in which to believe.

Boost your willing suspension of disbelief,

For tonight is Christmas Eve Eve.

Hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes and floods,

Are the worst types of weather you say.

Don’t talk that trash unless you’ve survived,

Two consecutive drizzly days in L.A.

Tried my hand at Asian Fusion,

Mixed with French cuisine.

Would up with the oddest mess,

Sweet and sour shrimp poutine!

Sammy in the tree, presents are purchased,

Good Lord, I have never been broker.

Now I have to watch Uncle Blogsy,

‘Cause he’s a serial Christmas present poker…

Dream of moving to Australia,

And living in the bush.

Probably wouldn’t last too long,

If a spider bites my tush.

Thanksgiving dinner was served at six,

Sammy moved in with the speed of a cheetah.

Alas, poor kitten, your meal was bird-less.

For we served pepperoni pizza!

Stuff yourself with turkey, max out your credit cards.

Just walk away from me with your holiday jive,

Because the sun is out, the sky is blue,

And I am just thankful to be alive!
