I went on down to the lost and found, Christmas presents I was hoping to find. Something cheap and not very steep, For some Passions friends of mine. I found one glove I could give with love, To Toerag, who has one hand it seems. At least I think he has, for he always says, "I need a hand writing poetry clean." I found a hat to show others that, There was something higher than Balladeer. He'll never wear it, he coudn't bear it, To have a hat squeeze so hard on his ears. I found a bowl for someone we all know To be a sweet as sugar and as pure. Karilea deserves more, but, alas, I'm poor, But she'll accept it with grace, I'm sure. I found a frame with a cracked glass pane, Suthern Belle will rejoice to place. She can mount her friend, Toerag, therein, And cherish his cracked, twisted face. I found an umbrellar, for a lady who's stellar, She'll need it in Victoria, BC. Though she never complains of the incessant rains, Mysteria deserves some dryness from me. I found a kid's coat, Titia will gloat, When she gets it in the mail Christmas Eve. It may be a bit small, I hope Titia's not tall, And her figure's of a child of three. I found a rubber rat for old Alicat, He'll jump it and pursue it with glee. I found used chapstick for Sy to kiss, Plus a handbag for Elizabeth from me. Ratleader will stare at the soft Gummi Bears I found when I dug deeper still. That lost and found chest gave up its best Treasures for my friends' Christmas thrills. I found some loose ends for more of my friends, Though too numerous to recount here. Each present was sound, bless the lost and found, For giving me presents so dear. |

quote: I hope I'm as graceful just as this gift is, for a bowl holds hope, even when it's not full there's a thought in a bowl, call it "promise" and I know you know this poem is not full of bull...  Thank you, LJA! [This message has been edited by Sunshine (12-25-2003 09:04 AM).] |

Mike, if you buy the deer a hat I'll tell you what I'll do. You can be sure, without a doubt, I'll take it off to you!  Merry Christmas to you and Lorelei, pal. May the new year bring prosperity and a few more hijinks! |

God bless you all. I can be gone for a year, yet I feel I haven't been gone at all when I come back. You are all wonderful people who deserve only the best of all blessings. Merry Christmas, my friends. |
