Firstly I tap the barrel and pour me a beer,
then sing me a song of Christmas cheer.
Next I strive to set up the evergreen tree:
always a true sign of Christmas festivity.

After I have me a short afternoon nap,
a gift tied with bow and emerald wrap,
is added, with a bright holly berry one can see,
that awaits presentation to my wife, from me!

To an ornament tied with Christmas twine
we simmer a glass of mulled cinnamon wine
the scent of which invites visitors who call.
To leave boots, hat and scarf in the hall!.

Rhymer. December 28th, 2017.

Words used in order:
Tap, sing, bow, emerald, wrap, berry,
ornament, simmer, cinnamon, scent.

A little late. Been busy shovelling snow - day after day! Winter? Bah! Denis.

Hi Denis,

Better late than never when it comes to challenges. With Daniel in the hospital or recovery, you and I are about the only folks here.

I did enjoy your poem about Christmas preparations which, I'm sure, comes from a scenario happening each year about this time. Hope you had a nice Christmas and a great Boxing day too.

Larry

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.
