I Didn't Forget

 

 

I didnt forget your christmas card
that simply isn't true
I know you would've loved it
I picked it just for you
*
Its shape was sorta square-ish
the envelope quite round
I penned a verse with my own blood
... it really was profound
*
Trimmed in gold with diamond dust
its measurments in feet
I strapped it on and made my way
through ice and snow and sleet
*

I travelled hungry, sick and weak
to get it to the post
A grueling quarter mile
or maybe half at most
**
I swear I suffered frost bite
My snowshoes were too small
It pinched my corn and pained me so
that's when i had to crawl
*
It felt like ten whole minutes
one more second, I'd be dead
I crawled up to the counter
with a snowbank on my head
*
By now I was delirious
with all that I'd been through
I straightened up and ranted
and blamed it all on YOU
*
So, I didnt forget your christmas card
for this is it... you see
Merry f*cking Christmas
and that's to you from me

    We all need those excuses! Now, with e-cards, it's easier. I know because my girl sends me a beautiful one every year...can't figure out who all those cc: guys are, though

    Funnier than hell and you did a great job with it. Big applause here!

    Great

    These were brilliant.

    I laughed out loud so hard my dog came and bit me (get down Billy).

    This is priceless

    it felt like a full hour
    in a second, I'd be dead
    I crawled up to the counter
    with a snowbank on my head

    Almost Pratchett like.

    Thanx for the shits and giggles

    Great collaboration from two of my favourite poets.Both managed to pull off excellent final stanzas to complete what were excellent reads Good to see you both back writing I just noticed this was written in December I don't know how i missed this as you are both on my favourites list . Glad to sent me the link

    Awesome Collaboration

    Who writes anymore? Honestly I thought the whole world was in E-fashion to date...lol. And that I tell you is why stamps should be left in the drawer. It sounded much like my parents trip to and from school.....Up hill both ways, raining as they went and snowing as they came, unless it was summer and then the trek was longer and the heat was unbearable.
    I did enjoy the humor of trying to find just a few minutes in the day to get this one thing done.

    Very nicely penned on both parts, funny and just completely well rounded. Thank you both for sharing.

    Really Funny

    These are two really funny poems, especially when you look at it as, two people sending them to each other! Ah, I can feel the holiday spirit!
    I could use something like this, myself .. my family don't "do" cards, as a rule .. but my fiance's family send cards for every occassion under the sun, and thank you cards in response .. it's insane, and I can never keep up .. a witty response like this is just what I need!

    I was going to comment on each one in turn but when it came to write out my comment I was completely speechless. I don't think that any mere praise could do this collaboration any justice.

    I love the use of extremes to explain the reason the card didn't come in. I love the pure sound of exasperation you imagine when reading through each well crafted line.

    I am, quite literally in awe. Thank you for featuring this piece because I don't think I would've had the joy of reading it otherwise and it was just that. A joy.

    Much love and luck to your further writings. May both of y'alls pens be strong and your minds stay sharp. Happy writing.

    Where's Your Card???

    http://media.putfile.com/Wheres-Your-Card

    Alright, so Christmas is over.
    I never got your card.
    Each day I checked the mailbox
    Like some deranged retard.

    Don't tell me that you sent it.
    My spies say that's not true
    I have over 20 of them
    Following and watching you.

    The cameras hidden in your house
    Never showed you writing.
    Each one can see everything
    Even when there is no lighting.

    My phone taps have revealed to me
    That you didn't try to call.
    You never asked your friends about me
    I interviewed them all.

    So, I have mowed down your flower garden.
    I poisoned all your cats.
    I hacked into your credit cards
    And charged them to the max.

    I posted you naked on the Internet
    (Ok, it was my body with YOUR head)
    But it never would have come to this
    If you sent that card instead.

    I will never again be happy,
    Nor smile in that regard
    I will spend my days just waiting
    For your freaking Christmas card.

    The Best Humor Poem I Have Read All Year!

    I usually don't like christmas poems, nor humurous poems, but these poems were really charming and witty. I was hoping that I could use these poems in an email, with both your permissions, to send to my family and friends. I don't ever send christmas cards, so maybe this will show them how much I think of them when I am not writing!

    For Some Reason...

    ...when I read your work, with its humor, the word "opulent" comes to mind. Why is that?

    You're a legend in your own mind...uh...time.

    When I grow up, I wanna be as funny as you.

    Pray for me! This was really funny!

    Oh! Merry Christmas, young lady!

    awesome moments of tandem hilarity here, good people. reminds me of how Mrs. B & I exchange anniversary cards: we go to the store pick out the coolest ones we like - give 'em to each other to read and then put 'em back! Then we go to the liquor isle and buy what we really went there for in the first place - some peace of mind....Happy Holland Days! ~ Ed
