Another Jeb and me poem
Christmas cheer 11-17-06 The night before Christmas Jeb and me lay, wide awake, listing for the sleigh. We made a pact to catch him this year, baited the trap with Budweiser Beer. Grandpa was sleeping watching TV, snoring like a chainsaw fallin’ a tree. Jeb fell asleep and I dozed off, when I hear this scraping above the loft. From out of the hearth with a toothless smile, came this jolly old fat guy, incredibly agile The deer on the roof were pawing to go, I think they did, from the stains in the snow. A steel runner sled he took from his sack, a Lionel train and all of the track. Tobacco stain drool threads down his chin, as he grabbed the Bud with a wink and a grin. I heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight Remember next year… make mind Miller Lite.  By J.C. Hill  |

Great stuff, Jack!
Ah, I love this one - bait, hook, line and sinker - for its swift movements, surprises, and its big grin. A real good piece of Christmas cake it is! Jane "Unclose your mind. You are not a prisoner. You are a bird in flight, searching the skies for dreams." (Haruki Murakami) |

Jane.
I took a tour of Denmark, via public TV, beautiful country. I really had a good time writing this, I put it in with my Christmas cards. Glad you got a kick out of it. Jack  |

Jack,
The recipients of your Christmas cards got a treat, and so did I! Your talent is boundless! SG When you reach for something in life, be certain that it is worth the sacrifice of what you are letting go. |

Ramona,
I don’t know about bondless but I’m going to keep at it until I get it right or have a brain drain. I have a feeling, which will come first. You and yours have a Merry Christmas. Jack  |

You are toooooo much, Jack! What a great way to start my morning -- reading a jc hill poem that makes me laugh. However....I didn't know until I read your poem that my Uncle Dave was Santa Claus.   "It's important, when going after a goal, to never lose sight of the integrity of the journey". – |

Delightful and witty. Definitely brought a smile and a snicker. ~Jim
P.S. - Did you mean to say "..make mind Miller Lite" or "make mine..." ? "It is not enough just to stop and smell the flowers as you walk thru life. One must also regularly plant the seeds for new ones, as a gift for other dreamers to come." - Me |

Too good Jack -- it needs another year's exposure!
