Ugly Sweater Blues

Singing fa la la la la

makes you seem to be quite jolly,

but gay apparel worn outside

is tantamount to folly

 

Do yourself a favor,

just wear tasteful red or green,

lest you find you’re at the center

of the ugly sweater scene.

What a great idea! I've got lots of ugly sweaters 'cause my wife keeps buying them. Okay if I come?

[Rita L. Sev]

Lol! Sure, Sam - it's been chilly here, so at least you'll be warm! :)

[Lydia Shutter]

Laughing here.....I have seen some really awful Christmas sweaters and tee shirts in the stores this year. How about a flamingo wearing a Christmas hat? Or perhaps a jolly bellied Santa in a speedo suit at the beach? Yup, they sell em here in South Florida! :) A happy poem...liked it a lot. So, did you have the contest? Lydi**

[Rita L. Sev]

A Christmas flamingo - LOL! Who thinks up these things? ;) We wore Christmas attire - the colleague who started it all wore an old sweater of his grandmother's... he won! :)

[Lydia Shutter]

amazing that he even HAD that sweater! Hey, I am sure it was a fun time for all of you. The break will be over in a blink. Enjoy every second.

[Audrey Bowers]

Good poem. I like the last two or three lines, it made me laugh a bit. :)

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Audrey! Always glad to give a smile!

[Baby Ricochet]

This is a no ugly sweater zone.

[Rita L. Sev]

The party was yesterday... I wore a festive t-shirt - he wore his grandmother's sweater... Good for a laugh among our fun-loving faculty! Thanks, Cassie!

Best expressed in Filipino: Walang magawa! (Nothing to do!) to the person making an ugly sweater contest.

[Rita L. Sev]

Lol! I will have to tell him that! Thanks, Sweetbind!
