I remember the winter

the circus came to town.

***

A few kids skipped

school to see the show.

***

“Whoah!” We said, when

we saw the empty desks.

“Lucky.”

***

But the next day, their

desks were still empty.

***

Then our teacher said

several of the children

absent from class had

been rushed to the

hospital for poisoning!

But — they’d be fine.

***

Furthermore, she explained,

they hadn’t been at the circus,

at all, but a home that was

being fumigated for insects.

***

“Whoah!” We said.

A home being fumigated for insects!?

“Lucky.”

Though mortal coil

can go down stairs

like the Slinky do …

Be careful!

As you may still be

connected to it

Our founder

contemplates

the future as a

Christmas tree

approaches from

behind.

If I could have

any ten

historical figures

over for dinner.

I would have:

One —

My famous potato salad.

And, two —

Roasted Mickey Rooney with onions.

**  Don’t forget to leave out a letter of apology to Zander, Klaus!  **

Did you know

that each

snowflake,

like a

finger-print,

is completely

unique?

Neither, did

This holiday season let trefology burden your shoulder!

Why would they call it

a gift receipt

if it did not also

make a good gift

 as is?
