Other [Issue 45] Picky Presents

[Vikingsrallentando 3,058]

Greetings tanker! I'd like to wish you happy holidays by getting you into the spirit of the times. There are many things that we all look forward to this time of year; holiday decorations and Rudolph are no exception. The nostalgia of this time is directly associated with these things we've come to know and love. For some, it is IMPOSSIBLE to go without these things. I encourage you to grab a hot cup of cocoa, and slip into the spirit with a Haiku, Limerick, and Occitan Sonnet by yours truly.

Holiday Pine Tree

Nurtured over several years

Consumed in a month

Taanik the red-nozzledd bright-blue-tank;

Greatly underrated for his rank.

Sadly without a home,

Yet to light someones road.

But at least hes fast upon a hard spank!

---

 

Sirens cannot match the silence of the night;

As we rave 'round holiday cups by day,

And civil ventures when the time is nigh;

Repetition, a far too common play.

 

Celebration not all to the degree

Observed by its native source followers.

You dare not change what is supposed to be;

For our Lord, displayed for outside watchers.

 

Essence absent, subsequently drying

Out our morale task of spreading some cheer.

One cannot stand what are not controlling?

Results in clogging the submissive ear.

Failure to meet demands is insulting

Only to those that selectively hear.

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed.
