Snowmen fast food
Is actually a
thing
And the food of
choice
Is a Berger King

TO THE SNOWMAN’S SCARF
To the snowman’s scarf
His hat simply
said
You hang around
While I go on
ahead.

EVERY YEAR WITHOUT FAIL - FROSTY
Every year without fail
On
Christmas Eve
It
would appear
And
we children
Would
squeal out
A
deafening cheer
When
the source
Of
our excitement
Was
carefully set down
And
we would sit
In
our clean pajama’s
And
dressing gown
And
stare at the object
Open
mouthed
In
gleeful expectation
Of
what was beneath
The
cotton wool and
Crepe
paper creation
We
would have to wait
The
longest time
In
anticipation
But
it was worth it
Too
see inside the belly
Of
Frosty’s incarnation
And
when we thought
We
could wait no longer
We
all jumped to our feet
As
Dad slowly removed
The
carrot faced head
And
revealed the treats
And
as Dad gave Frosty
A
little shake, out spilled
The
Christmas sweets

A Question Of Pooh
Its Christmas time again, as if anyone could fail to notice.
Even without leaving my house I can see more than half a dozen house decorated to the hilt.
Every coloured light imaginable, Santa’s on the roof or climbing a ladder, sleighs, elves, snowmen, bells, stars baubles and last but by no means least standing almost four feet high that perennial favourite Winnie the Pooh.
Wait a minute though you might well be saying what does Pooh have to do with Christmas? Well every other house seems to have one so there must be something in it.
I don’t recall mention of him in the bible and in the many nativity plays I have seen over the years he was conspicuous by his absence and although there is a donkey it’s not Eeyore.
The stable did not house Piglet and the wise men did not travel from the east with Tigger baring gifts of Huney.
Nor in any of the Christmas traditions around the world is there a single reference to Pooh as one of Santa’s helpers.
There’s Black Peter, The Jolly Elf even the devil figure Krampus but no Pooh but people still give him pride of place on their lawns at Christmas.
Go figure.
