Coma for The Holidays
As the time between Christmas and New Years drags by
And you’ve opened you gifts and you’ve ate all the pie
And you’ve cleaned out your junk drawer and counted your change
And you’ve sung every note that you know in your range
And you’ve twiddled your thumbs and the thumbs of your friends
And you’ve read every book that your library lends
And you’ve watched every Netflix and Blockbuster show
And you whipped up a cake; and ate all of the dough
Well just when you think gosh time must have gone by
You look up at the sun and it’s 12 o’clock high
Then all of a sudden, you’re whacked on the head
Sending you into a coma (not dead)
It’s something that’s certainly glum and morose
But is it really that bad spending time comatose?
As the time between Christmas and New Year’s drags by
You’ll say wake me at New Year’s . . . no wait that’s a lie
(you might as well profit from events gone awry)
On second thought . . . make that the Fourth of July
Until next time . . . I love you

I was thinking we’d drag you out of your burrow on February 2nd.
Okay, but if I see my shadow, I’m crawling back in! Unless I should be seeing my shadow. Well, either way I’m crawling back in! Happy 4th!
You, my Dear Linda, are my favorite bard. Or is it bardess ? I’m often politically correctless. Or even politically cor-reckless.
I’m joining the politically cor-reckless party just as soon as I’m done typing this comment, Nick!
Loved this Linda! Hope you are awake and really enjoy as the new year begins. Happy New Year and love to you and the kids
Hi Dorothy! Good to hear from you. Hope all is well with the family up there. Have a wonderful 2018!
One almost needs the time between Christmas and New Years to be ‘if not comatose’ at least recuperating with lots of rest and sleep… oh no… about those exchanges that need to be done… and the phone calls to thank everyone, or to wish a belated Merry Christmas or an early Happy New Year…. maybe comatose fits after all…. lol Happy New Year Linda and many blessings !! Diane
Thank you Diane. Many blessings to you and your family! Cheers to 2018! And may it be our best year e er!!
Is it really that bad spending time comatose?
That just became one of my favorite lines ever, and I’m going to use it a lot in the coming year, especially to justify my behavior!! A wunnaful, wunnaful poem, my dear Linda, mit der nize li’l twist at the end, and a superb cartoon and/or inaction figure!! Always a pleasure, and I’m wishing you a Happy, i.e., Comatose, New Year!! : )
It is an inaction figure! Hahaha!! It’s so good to hear from you Markie McGiggles. You always put the coma in my tose! I hope all is well with you and yours and that you have a happy and wonderful 2018!!
LOVE your DOODLES!!!!!! Absolutely best part of my day.. thank you……..
Ah! Thank you Pink!! Your comment has made my day . . . I hope you have a wonderful new year!!
Thank you! Wishing you a wonderful New Year as well!!!
Oh, well…So that kind of sinks the idea of my popping over to Linda and having a few New Year drinks and peanuts? If only you could see how far I had got with my sequinned tuxedo. Clearly, I have joined the wrong online prose class and shall be seeking a partial refund. This poem by Linda shoots to the number one slot, passing McGowan’s “Fairy Tale of New York” in a sparkle of 2018 Vernon. I was expecting a big stage number with flamingos but no, she goes all Film bloody Noire on me…
