Silly Pickle

Silly Pickle

A Poem by Neville
"

I much prefer New Year

Silly Pickle

 

I am a silly pickle

I forgot to laugh or giggle

When the Christmas tree exploded

Just like that

All the presents they were smoking

As my mum and dad sat joking

And the fairy slowly melted on the mat

I'm a New Year person as well Neville. As soon as I read "just like that", I had this wonderful image of Tommy Cooper, complete with his toothy grin and red fez. Mind you if that happened to me as a kid, I'd be finding it a bit difficult to see the funny side of it even though mum and dad were laughing. Poor plastic fairy. Entertaining read Neville.

I love this nonsensical celebration of non-celebratory holiday-time! Now I can use this excuse as the reason why I've never had a Christmas tree in my adult life. Gawd knows something explosive would surely happen & then I'd probably blame a furry friend for misplaced gnawing, etc. It's too complicated, so I'll keep it simple this time of year with just the tickle of a silly pickle (((NUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I used to love new year but ever since the rug rat arrived 18 years ago it's been Christmas day, boxing day that I've enjoyed more. Used to fetch her from her room on Christmas morning, taking her first outside to make sure Santa had eaten his Christmas pie and quaffed his beer and that the reindeer had scoffed their carrotts. Then used to watch as her little face light up opening presents.....miss that so much.
Anyway, enjoyed ya wee poem.
Hope your having a good Saturday.

I like your change in cadence. It controls the readers pace. Not to mention the title brilliant choice for you holiday disaster.
There is a point in life where almost every memory is treasured.

dear Neville... I am always in a pickle... I had a beautiful seasonal snowy Musical Globe with a Reindeer inside. My daughters little Shitzu doggie jumped on the Table and knocked the Globe over... all the fluid inside the Globe spilled out and little Annie dog walked over the Fluid... I had to wash her Paws. We were Doggie sitting and my daughter was None the wiser. Tragedies happen during the Holidays.
fondly, Pat

Christmas is for kids. I'm not religious and don't need presents but I enjoy making it special for the kids in the family. Even though inside there's a shadow over my heart...

Well okay Neville, you got me to read a Chr*****s write with your tagline, and im glad I did. Your "just like that", reminded me of Tommy Cooper, which reminded me of my dad laughing himself into a coughing fit at him, and how he would tell me, when he saw my puzzled look "you think its easy to play piano that bad? I never figured out what he meant until after he died, but it did make me a fan.
And I also prefer new year. Come to think of it, I like root canal work more than xmas. :)

Oh my, Neville, this is funny. Sadly not for some poor soul whos tree actually did go out. And the firemen came and put it out. As some buy cheap lights that are faulty and crap.
