Ho, Ho, Ho / a Redneck Xmas

‘Twas close to the day when Buba Claus, His red nose and Bowie knife shining, Would be off to fill the manly's hearths, With bacon for their frying. The ground was bare of snow or ice, The sky was clear of reindeer. But Buba Claus was loading his sleigh, Real high, with good stout Yule beer? Buba Claus was out in force, His NRA cronies in tow, To fill naughty radicals stockings, With tiny bits of coal. Cigars dangled from their lips, A spittoon he placed by their feet, And, before the sleigh rose off the ground; They tossed in another side of beef. Each carnivore, they laughingly swore; Would have their fill this year, And Bambi blanched as He flew by, While Teddy Bears ran in fear! Over New Canaan His courses flew, Past the homes of vegetarians; And down their chimneys they did toss; The views of Libertarians! And when the last haunch was placed, Upon the spits of the mighty, His spat his cud of gnarly gum, Into the spittoon real tidy! Then he flew off with a Ho, Ho, Ho, And, not the ones for plowing Cause Buba Claus had his own ideas Of all Santa’s sissy endowings!

Kash drew my attention to that top 100 you must be referring to in your comment today. If he had not told me, I would not have known. It feels strange to pass up my idol on Soup. I feel uncomfortable to be at the top of that list just for entering lots of contests. Of course, it does not feel bad but still, I was feeling just fine for Carrie to be above me. She is so remarkable and I envy her free verse ability. It just doesn't come easy for me, yet free verse is what the new world prefers.

hahaha, this sure goes along with all the santa hubba dubba lately. Good one I found way back on page 31. wow, you have MANY posts. If I were to post all my poems not posted yet, I'd have 30 pages at least, but I just bide my time here. maybe one day I will finally get all my oldies up with my newbies!! I bet you have even more than what I am seeing here on your pages. Have you been writing all your life, Debs? I better start another comment. Wanted to tell you something.

Very, very clever write here Deborah and the "form" is a Couplet I think. When you put "I don't know" under the form then it isn't included in contests or featured and this one definitely is one to be a feature!! Its wonderful. If not Couplet than Rhyme but the different forms are in the column on the left on the Home page. Hope you don't mind my saying all this ... its just a wonderful write here!!
