Overboard by Chip Dunham for December 12, 2010

How traditional, fiery wire on the Christmas tree. The old candles might have been safer, though!

As I’ve said - and will continue to say - toss the idiotic mice overboard.

THAT being said …

13 Days till Christ’s Birthday!

I think you should have checked them before putting them on the tree! lol

Good Morning, Crew!

Thanks, Allan. I’m all for the countdown as our shopping is done. :^)

You better pull the plug Henry, while you still have a tree. ♠Lonewolf♠, once I get the lights on the tree, they don’t come off.

Good Sunday Morning, Crew!

So that’s what firewire is.

Are those Hot Chile Pepper lights or is your tree on fire?

Good Morning Crew,

Twas two weeks before Christmas and all through the ship

the mice were confessing and trying to be flip……

Thats it for todays poetry.. someone else can finish it.

Have a GREAT DAY MATIE’S

…..flip….. when the fire they caused almost burned up the ship.

Excellent instigator20 and Trebor39.

Thank you Allan! NOT!! :-)

Trouble with Christmas lights, you can test them before you put them up, and sure as anything, when they’re up, they don’t work anyway!

Same here Grog, but I try to make sure they work first.

Ah rodents, cute in cartoons, not cute in your attic.

…burned up the ship. The lights were all colours: blue, yellow and red, But visions of sugar plums did not dance in their head, For who should appear then in flame proof attire, T’was Jolly St. Nick shouting, “Run idiots! FIRE!!” His nose was a cherry from the glow of the flames, And his belly shook from the force of the water That spewed from the hose he had got from a squatter. I hope that some person will rescue me now, For rhymes are becoming scarcer some how: If I don’t desist from nonsensical chatter I may be knocked out by a huge flying platter.

Help!

Shika the Poet! :-)
