I donāt usually put any of my own stuff in here, of course, but what with the Pogo āNight Before Christmasā I couldnāt resist. I wrote this parody a few years ago, by special request of the owner of a poetry forum I belong to. She wanted me to write a Christmas parody. The nick I used on the forum was āRedwolfā, which explains the wolf thing. (I hopeā¦ā¦..) Iāve had a tradition of reciting it for my nieces and nephews on Christmas morning ever since then. Merry Christmas to all the Cappers!
THE NIGHT BEFORE WOLFMAS
Tāwas the night before Christmas, with church bells glad tonesBut the wolf paid no heed, gnawing antelope bonesAnd gizzards of penguins and eyeballs of wombats(Heād worked up an appetite, winning those combats)
The wolf was well-mannered, he kept out of barsAnd ate ducklings and trucklings and kids Hot Wheel CarsAnd also pajamas, both empty and fullTuxedoes and Frodos and bison and bull
Just then overhead flew a man in a sleigh(The reindeer kept out of wolfās reach and his way)The sleigh circled round, flying nearer and nearerThe wolf gave a sneer, which got sneerer and sneerer
Then the wolf took a look: that man seemed familiarBringing back memories, glad though peculiarOf far-away days when the wolf was a pupAnd life was a joy, with a āwhyā to wake up
Then the man in the sleigh did something unseemlyFrom out of a nightmare (or, leastways, a dreamly)Dropped a whole sack of coal (and plutonium, too!)On the head of the wolf (and his fleas and ticks, too)
You weep for the wolf, whose hopes were all dashed?You shed friendly tears ācause his life is all crashed?He HADNāT had hope, no matter how fleetingThe wolf gave a snort and went back to his eating
I will be turning in January. I have been having this wicked headache since yesterday, with some coughing. It started Wednesday, got powerful yesterday and is still hanging on. I get kinda woozy standing up and stayed in bed most of yesterday and have been napping on and off today.
Welcome back, baby !
Iām really sorry to hear youāre unwell. Sounds nasty.
Donāt stand up too fast when youāve been sitting down or napping.
Keep resting and donāt exhaust yourself when doing the DIY work which you normally do.
@ Buggerlugsā¦they are coming through clearly and funnily!

I dont spam for anything, usually that isā¦.but I have to talk about one comic here at gocomicsā¦You all know I am a woosieā¦emotional, totally feminine, and totally woosieā¦.Marigold Heavenly Nostrils is a comic here at go comics. She is a Unicorn who was so entranced with her own image in a pond that she was litterly frozen in her entrancement of her own image. Phoebe is a little girl who skipped a stone across that pond and broke up the image freeing Marigold from her entrancement with her own imageā¦she granted Phoebe one wish and Phoebeās wish was that Marigold would be her best friendā¦.today, as her Christmas gift to Marigold, she released her from her wish for Marigold to be her best friendā¦.Marigold still wants to be Phoebes best friendā¦.its made me add it as my favoriteā¦and I want you all to experience the joy, snarkiness and beauty that is Marigold Heavenly Nostrilsā¦please visit it and give it a chanceā¦its an awesome comic strip and will make you truly lol and cry and wish that you had a Unicorn friend or at least a 7 year old who loves fantasy as much as we all do or we wouldnt be at go comicsā¦
my son has taken my d-i-l and lil Ronnie to visit friends, after his lovely wife and I make Linguists home made Amarettoā¦(recipe available at Ballard Street earlier this week)ā¦I am enjoying a small sip of the amaretto and some coffee while urging you all to simply enjoy this holiday weekend and take a look at MHNā¦you will be glad you didā¦.and if todays doesnt take your heart and squeeze it (after knowing the back story) then change your name legally to Grinch and understand whyā¦.

Narcissus are the first spring flower to bloom from my bulbs hereā¦ I always know that the tulips and daffoldis arent far behindā¦.and that its time to strew flower seeds in the beds like my grandmother didā¦makes for a wild and beautiful patch of ground in the early summer, after the bulb flowers in their defined array; have bloomed and shed their beauty as much as possibleā¦.lolā¦can you tell I love flowers?ā¦.I love wild flowers most and flower gardens like my grandmaās where daisies would group around zinniaās mixed with peonies and marigolds and sun flowers, and black eyed susansā¦.the levels were all irregular, but beatiful in spite of itā¦.I strive for that here, but admit that I have one flower bed that is arrangedā¦.daisies (yellow and white and blue) around red, blue, yellow and white rosesā¦.its for the anal, organised meā¦lolā¦.I had the best flower beds when I lived in So. Cal., San Diego let me go wild with flowersā¦.and yes, I even think Ice Plant when it flowers is lovelyā¦

Gweedo and Number Six and some of the other Cappers who are a little out of kilter today, for whatever reason, your comments reminded me of Joe Cockerās song but I hope you all will be better by Christmas. Have a wonderful holiday and get well.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Feeling Alright Joe Cocker<><><><><><><><><>Seems Iāve got to have a change of sceneāCause every night I have the strangest dreamsImprisoned by the way it could have beenLeft here on my own or so it seemsIāve got to leave before I start to screamWonāt someone lock the door and turn the key
