'Tis the season for gluttonous, coveting overdone-ness,
Hyper-jiggly with anticipation, excitement and too much of a
good thing-ness.

Missed minuscule moments

Inspired by this quote:
“In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!”
― Dave BarryThis weekend Trifecta wants us to give them a pithy summary of our feelings about the holidays. Our response does not need to be cynical or sarcastic. Expressed in 33 words.
Great job with this poem. I like how you went from cynicism to hopeful in such a short piece. Glad your back with all technology at your disposal.
ReplyDeleteYes! The simple happiness will be here in less than two weeks! \>__</
ReplyDeleteI like the quote too. We atheists have great difficulty with walls I find.
ReplyDeleteYes! Those moments for personal reflection are just as important as the gifts and egg nog!

ReplyDeleteHey Everyone! Thank you so much for the kind comments. I snuck away on vacation to write these 33 words while I was trying to go "unplugged". I did really, really well though and hardly checked a thing!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! Happy Holidays! May your days be filled with those you love.
Ooh, I like that "hyper-jiggly". It makes me want to say it over and over and then get up and jiggle around :)
ReplyDeleteI got it stuck in my head after writing it! Now you have me thinking hyper-jiggly thoughts again!
