Bugaboo
WRITTEN FOR MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY
A TIPSY CHRISTMAS
It seems that The Season is heading to be
As it was before Christianity.
In days gone by it was lewd and wild,
Not ruled over by the Heavenly Child.
In the midst of the winter weather
Villagers would get together,
Sing and dance and get quite drunk.......
Long before the time of nun and monk.
Carousing, like the lady above,
Was what the people were thinking of.
Religion made things much more staid
And memories began to fade
Of earlier times and earlier people,
Who never knew alter, prayer or steeple.
Nowadays, though many adhere
To the Christian Faith that they hold dear,
Let those who're sceptical raise a cheer
For the past, and raise a glass of beer.

WRITTEN FOR SATURDAY CENTUS
MY HAT!
If I were an egg I would need a cosy,
Maybe one that was furred and rosy.
I'd put it on my egg-shaped form
To keep my delicate contents warm.
But I'm not an egg! I'm a noble beast
And I don't like it in the least.
A squirrel is wild and brave and free!
Not a bauble on a Christmas Tree.

Ah, what a wonderful memory your word cozy brings for me! My mother had a few that kept either her coffee or tea pots warm! What a delight read in both parts- you've made my weary day-brighter!!!!! It seems too many grinches are running about- I say slow down people, stop and enjoy this ride- it'll all get done- don't worry!
Such a great post.. Thank's for sharing!
Visiting from MYM- hope you can stop by..
