Season's Greetings

[Hawkman]

I am the ghost of Christmas past
and in the snow I dwell
in 47 I had fun
and 63 as well.

but in this last millennium
I’ve up and slipped my chains
and carpeted the countryside
in freezing white again.

On backstreets in the urban sprawls
I’ve glazed the roads with ice
so insurance underwriters
call me names, which isn’t nice.

The beds in all the hospitals
are crammed with broken hips
and H5N1 fills the morgues
which thrills virologists to bits.

But don’t forget it’s Christmas Eve
just hang your stocking high,
as Santa drives a flying sleigh
I’m sure he’ll still come by.

So season’s greetings to you all,
don’t fret or be despondent,
just slaughter lots of turkeys
and overdose on fondant.

all I want for Christmas is..... my water back on.

Great fun, Hawk. Merry Christmas.

just slaughter lots of turkeys

Turkeys must hate our holidays. Nice metrical sound to this. And Merry Christmas.

Best wishes to you, Señor Hawk!

Is this why my old answering machines don't work anymore? :D
Merry Christmas Hawk!

[Hawkman]

JB, YesNo, Prince and Haunted, thank you all for your seasonal greetings, and Haunted, if your answering machines have gone to silicon heaven, perhaps it's because one of those pesky reindeer trod on them :D

Live long and prosper - Hawk.

A prompt PCSR (post christmas stress recovery), oh Hawk!
Your usual sarcasm went unleashed in this one, just as well I don't celebrate...
but send you my heartfelt wishes for a really good year 2011! Judging from your verse, at least one turkey was spared within domestic fowl's community this year... but only judging from your verse. :hand:

Be well! Bar
