Christmas in Newfoundland, Part ll

The thing that followed the "'Twas the Week Before Christmas Smack-Down" was a fast round of limericks and haikus. Again, for the viewing pleasure of you non-Newfoundlanders, allow me to link you to some pages that might help with your comprehension!

Michele wrote:

There once was a boy from BC
Who liked to have "fee" with his "chee"

Couldn't get it out West

Came East where it's best

And found a new home by the sea

Came East where it's best

And now we can't get rid of 'e.

I wrote:

There was a big lad name of Nicol

Who feared he would be in a pickle

if the plane didn't make it,

Then Christmas he'd fake it
Cuz his love for the rock wasn't fickle

And then we set our sights on higher literary standards: the haiku!

Mister Man wrote:

Pine clad hills waiting

Descending visitor nears

Kacy bares her teeth

Paully responded:

Dog hair scattered amid dust

Drywall disaster

Sad Christmas decor chaos

I responded:

Two more nights of restless sleep

Brian works overtime

Will we really get to land?

and then I wrote this when the package I ordered from Amazon in November still hadn't arrived... (avert your eyes if you don't like swearing, people!):

Amazon dot f'ing com

You have let us down

Two lonely parcels stranded

Paully retorted:

Potty Mouthed sister again

Aghast Mums would weep

Yes, Tef must be adopted

I typed:

Puritan brother of mine

Stands on the sidelines

Empty creative vessel

Michele chimed in:

Paully strings the Christmas lights

Third time on the tree

Long story, tell you later

and then she wrote:

Michele white with plaster dust

Wish it were flour

Still lots of baking to do

I reassured:

The plane comes bearing cookies

And goodies galore

East coast baker please don't sweat.

And then we arrived. Late, but in tact. And they didn't even lose our luggage!

This year, I find myself missing my people. And the poetry..... could you blame me?

Here's what I have to say to THAT:

Sadly staring out window

Wish you were all here

Better have more chocolate.....
