One day, one rhyme- Day 3657

Grandma always gives home made gifts,

She knits, sews and crochets;

The problem is she hates patterns

Measuring tapes and stays.

She makes each truly unique gift

Both intricate and wrong-

This year I got a blue onesie

That’s about 12 foot long…

One day, one rhyme- Day 3721

Nectar feeding insect that flies

Whose coloured wings catch peoples eyes

By mail drop-off the postman locks:

A butterfly on the postbox.

Upon a barrier, they trace

A portal to another place

But it’s not functional at all:

A doorway painted on a wall.

Cake decoraters amaze me,

Not just their style and skill,

Nor the way they get texture, shape;

How they melt, set and chill;

It’s not the creativity,

Although that isn’t small;

Its how they make it to the end

Without eating it all!

There’s a spider in Ellie’s room,

But it’s up too high to reach

And to live with a strange spider

Is of decency a breach-

So as Ellie’s home alone and

It’s up still on the door frame,

Ellie really has no choice but

To give the spider a name.

One day, one rhyme- Day 3608

Time speeds up round the end of year,

A fact to which we cede.

I’m relishing the festive cheer,

But alarmed at the speed.

My to do list is lengthening,

As big as Santa’s sack,

I think I need a Time Machine

To get me back on track.

I’m nowhere near ready for this,

The hours race by and shriek,

And I could swear to high heaven

It was August last week!

The Queen of Hearts

She made some tarts

Some tasty gluten free treats.

The Knave of Hearts

Didn’t want tarts

So he ordered Uber Eats…

One day, one rhyme- Day 3595

One red leaf falling through the air,

In slow circles it twirls,

Floats ever closer to the earth-

Plop- in the lake it swirls.

It floats, then sinks to the pond floor.

Breaking down, shreds, uncurls,

While high above on the tree limb

A new one soon unfurls.

Our biggest park on this Yule night

Is filled with folk, both big and slight;

The darkness falls, as the clocks strike;

They sing onstage and grass alike,

And each one holds a single spark:

The town sings carols in the dark.

Firm yellow English dairy snack

That’s been sculpted with quite a knack

Into a fort that King’s might seize:

A castle made of cheddar cheese.

Ceilings would be quite a bit scuffed,

And fragile trinkets would be stuffed;

Cobwebs could be removed briskly,

And cooking would be quite a risky;

Would be tricky sifting flours,

Not to mention taking showers;

All upper windows would need screens:

If floors were made of trampolines.

I’ve baked an army, forty score,

Of yummy festive friends galore,

Stacked high as a churches steeple:

800 gingerbread people.

The worlds been catching up to me,

I need a little rest,

But my chores and obligations

Are giving me a test.

I need a break, I need some space

To relax and be me,

So I gift wrapped myself, and I’m

Under the Christmas tree.

One day, one rhyme- Day 3677

I climbed a hill, I saw the view

Gazing over the town.

Then I got too tired to walk back,

And rolled all the way down.

Large hairy Himalayan beast

Enjoys Eternal city feast

With lasagne and spaghetti:

Dinner in Rome with a yeti.

There are flamingoes on the roof,

I hear their talons click

Against the corrugated steel-

Come listen to it quick!

There are flamingoes on the roof

I hear wings flap and sway,

Probably eating all the shrimp

I bought for Christmas Day…

There are flamingoes on the roof

I’ve not a single doubt;

Maybe if I hand them a broom

They’ll sweep the gutters out…

There are flamingoes on the roof

With loads of poise and grace;

Pink freeloaders strutting about

As if they own the place…

There are flamingoes on the roof,

And I swear that’s the truth

And it’s got nought to do with my

Drinking all this vermouth…
