A No Win Situation

Closets have a way
Of filling up each day

Stuff comes there to stay
Until it’s thrown away

But tossing what’s not mine
An unspoken crime

Rather than pay the fine
Wait till another time

In
Whirls of snow
And
Dankest
Gray
Alas
They all were
Whisked
Away

Without pause
Or
Brief
Delay
Alas
They all were
Whisked
Away

Time
Had come
It was the
Day
Alas
They all were
Whisked
Away

The
Final judgment
Left to
Pay
Alas
They all were
Whisked
Away

For their
Eternal souls
We
Pray
Alas
They all were
Whisked
Away

In
2026
They could not
Stay

A
Foggy
Christmas
Day

Cloaked
In
Pea soup
Haze

Put
Rudolph
To the
Test

His nose
Shone
At its
Best

From
Roof to roof
They
Flew

Delivering
All
Gifts
Due

The interim

A New dawn A new Day

Will peace At last Arrive and Stay?

In Whirls of snow And Dankest Gray Alas They all were Whisked Away

Without pause Or Brief Delay Alas They all were Whisked Away

Time Had come It was the Day Alas They all were Whisked Away

The Final judgment Left to Pay Alas They all were Whisked Away

For their Eternal souls We Pray Alas They all were Whisked Away

In 2026 They could not Stay

Come in My pretty Visit Me A Harmless spider In a Tree

Come in My pretty Visit Me I Charge no rent It’s all for Free

Come in My pretty Visit Me My Silky web So soft for Thee

Come in My pretty Visit Me You Have Nowhere else to Be

Come in My pretty Visit Me I’d Never harm you Don’t you See

Come in My pretty Have a Seat Right there At my Hairy Feet

What’s For dinner Now you Ask

Why You my dear At long Last
