The In-box

In these days before Christmas, I’m certain you’ll see
An email that someone has sent cheerily.
Take a look in your litter box, there you might find
A note of this season; it’s one of a kind.
It speaks how politic’lly right we now are,
Embracing all peoples from near and afar,
Offending not one with the words we may say:
“Merry Christmas” is out, and so is “Good day.”
Our holiday season must now be like theirs
Or else they might suffer from obnoxious airs.
No bobbles, no bangles, and no Christmas trees
No Rudolph, no Santa, but let me keep breeze
Or else this dumb verse won’t rhyme, as it should
And many of you will say, “That is so nice!”

Thank you Mary,
and I hope you had a good sleep. It was probably my first job that I worked swing shift, 7 days of each 8 - 4, 4 - 12, 12 - 8 in rotation. It was a 28 day month with 4, 2, & 1 day off between shifts. The graveyard shift was always a killer.

To this posting, I know you know I know my stuff, if for no better reason than that I agree with everything in paragraph 2. As to a revision, dunno. Sometimes I have a muse, sometimes only amuse. I think this case was the latter. Even the obnoxious vapor was put there to make ya sit up and take note, so it won't come as too much of a surprise when it arrives!

Nonetheless, I'll take the nudge and might produce a more worthy thingy.

Thanks for coming back in.
