We Pulled a Sneaky!!

The Children were nestled all snug in their beds
When Grandpa and I drove away in our sled
Away to the Pancake House we flew like a flash
I had the pancakes and Grandpa had hash.

The sun as it rose, and the fog and the clouds
Covered the Hills with a magical shroud

My nose how it reddened, by cold wind ‘twas bitten
But each hand was warm in its Maple Leaf mitten (Thanks Doug and Sue)

P1020730

While out in the sled, in great anticipation
Awaited the dogs for their share of the bacon

P1020725

They each took a turn, (they are always polite)
Of those two bacon slices, they finished each bite.

We jumped in our sleigh, and we went down the road
We stopped at the market then to our abode
The girls were just fine and the house was still standing
We pulled in the driveway for a perfect “sleigh landing”

So as a reward, we went to a movie
Saw Happy Feet Two, and it was sure groovy
Came home and we fixed them hot chocolate and snacks
Now two have gone home, we can “kinda” relax

P1020731

What tomorrow will bring we really can’t say
But this has sure been... one heckofa day!!

  4. I love it!!!!

    Stolen time is the best time. One Thanksgiving Dinner with the whole family, here, Rich and I disappeared downstairs to the office, put music on and were dancing--sort of giggling as we could here the footsteps and voices saying, "Where the heck could they have gone?" ...then the basement door opened. Aha, but at least we got a couple of dances in. I still remember the two songs.

    Thanks so much for your post. It brought a smile to my face, Donna.

  15. Love the gloves.
    What a wonderful poem. It would take me a year to come up with just two lines that would rhyme!
    Merry Christmas.

  18. Delightful! For three years we did our Christmas letter in rhyme, always poking fun at ourselves. That got to be difficult the third and final year of it. We enjoyed your little ditty, and wish you a Christmas that's warm and pretty! (See, we can still do that!)

  19. Terrific post! Well done - that must have taken a lot of work. Pancakes and bacon sound great but they'd never turn me into a poet and I know it!
