Entomology Phobia
Chuck Webber
Standing at the top of our staircase, my wife spotted a glistening green six-legged beetle dragging by his left rear leg a foot-long string of Christmas tree tinsel. It commenced spreading its wings to fly, unknowingly inspiring a scream which jolted even our neighbors.
Mother of the Year
Coy Roper
She put the tinsel over the angel's wings and started up the staircase. A green monster met her. She screamed. It said, "Don't be afraid. You've won the Monster Mother of the Year award. Here's your prize."
He handed her a bottle of Pepto-Bismol. "Don't take it all at once."
All is Calm....All is Bright
Linda Gordon
Lofty staircase climbing...
Star placement...reaching...leaning...
Flapping wings pantomiming...
Silent screams quick convening.
Riding...sliding...
Green boughts bending,
A prickly path providing...
Friction toward the floor descending...
Landing like a Santa gift
Already wrapped for Christmas Eve
In blinking lights and tinsel drift...
A silent night reprieve.
