Ho Ho Ho
I am admittedly a bit of a Humbugger, but fortunately (for the family) my wife is the anti-dote.
A fine balance
Thanks for taking the time to look over and comment on Ebenezer

Thank you for your comment M.C.

were you a policeman?

food poisoning.

Yes, I should have put that phrase "Read All About It"
in the poem.
Good idea!

Mosey has two syllables with the sofy y at the end
and is therefore easier on tongue and mind.
"Jaunt" to me is too harsh! With that mean T at the end!
Just my opinion.

I prefer to Mosey, rather than jaunt!
😃

I knew it.
You are like a woman.
Lying about your age.
Actually, you don't look too bad
considering...

Had no idea you were that old,
did you use someone else's photograph?
😃

His stuff is now Your stuff!
better get rid of the stuff
before it's too late
and you become stuffed like him.

words do travel
they change their spelling
kind of like a disguise
they look different
but still...could be recognized
in a police line-up.
😃

what old saying? have never heard that.

Dogs,
like poets
love affection,
cats love
leisure.
😃

A Grave Groaner!
but I like it.!
😃

I like your comparison of a Cemetery to a Library.
Holding records of the past and past lives.
Excellent!

Conspiracy theories all around. We can simply hope for the best.
Thank you.

whereas cops HERE never walk
they cruise in comfort
in their expensive squad cars
ever on the lookout for criminals
and the next donut shop!
😃

I had to look up "piffle"
meaning piddling or a trifle
but I like the word
and will attempt to use it
I will try it out on my wife
I'll let you know how that turns out!
😃

It took me a while to figure out "tree-sured"
but now I have it. ha
Merry Christmas M.C.

most politicians are just people who
can't do anything else.

My face a waste
a bit unnerving,
it's all I got
though undeserving!
😃

my poetry
or a glass of milk
will put you to sleep-
the milk tastes good-
my poetry better for you.

thanks M. C. for reading "Autumn".
you must be desperate.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts for my work "Lifeline of pets and us". Yes, it is sad our pets departs from the world early. Might be because they love us lot more than how much we love them and they can't bear if we depart before them and hence they have short life span. Moreover for many people pets are not family but a piece of entertainment whom they can abandon like furniture as per their convenience. And that is why almighty calls the pure soul early so they don't have to bear earthly pain.

You don't see the word Razzamatass very often anymore.
Thanks for bringing it back.

I am selfless
if I say so my Self!

Hello MC. Loved the ad for an Encyclopaedia! Another, I hope involontary piece of irony is /was in Edinburgh Zoo. A snakepit filled with kraits, vipers, cobras, rattlesnakes etc, donated by .............., 'in memory of his parents'?!!!!!!!.

Thanks Newberry.
I will try to live up to
your expectations.

Thanks M.C. for commenting on
"The Grass is always Greener".
Tose people in the photo are sitting on green grass
waiting for something...

?

There' a time and place for everything.
For that poem...
maybe not!
?
(what are those people doing? Waiting to eat?)

Who are those people?
The Bilderbergs?
