Santa’s Lost Christmas
Santa had started his elves working and Mrs. Clause had taken
Santa’s suit out for him and noticed that the seam had gone in the crotch area of the trousers and it is Christmas eve and she hadn’t got time to mend them so she decided once she had got dressed in her Mrs. Clause suit, fed the reindeers and the sleigh was loaded that this year she was going to deliver the presents because she didn’t see any reason why Santa should have all the fun.
She rode through the sky saying ho! Ho and calling the reindeers on who were pulling the sleigh getting all their names right and saving Christmas.
The Waterfall
Water was cascading down the fall like sapphires.
A unicorn was bathing in its mystical waters.
The water felt like sapphires upon the naked flesh.
Moon
Ode to the moon who’s beauty can’t be described.
Her beauty never fails to amaze people who worship her.
She is only viewable in the evening sky on a clear night.
A wolf howls at the moon’s beauty.
Her pale complexion is like milk.
Shih Tzu
A brave mountain lion was standing guard.
Your tan coat was shining like the sun.
You were standing as still as stone.
You came to life as a protector to your master.
Red Rose
The red rose was the colour of blood.
This red rose grew in the forbidden garden.
No one dared to pick this rose; it bore the mark of death.
The red rose brought with it despair and death;
Beware of the forbidden!
Do not speak of the forbidden:
Stay away from the garden of doom.
This red rose is a sign of doom.
Beware of this red rose.
You may believe this red rose to be a sign of love,
This rose is not a sign of love it is the mark of death!
Beware! Beware! The red rose of death.
The thorn of this rose is as prickly as the back of a hedgehog.
The leaves are like rubber against the skin.
Red petals of the rose have been scattered upon the ground like a carpet.
These rose petals have become a bed of eternal sleep.
The thorn hath pricked her finger and sent her into an eternal sleep.
This rose petal hath become the final resting place.
