My apologies. I just realized that I announced the ending and the winners of The Terrible Weekly Poetry Contest a day early.
The reason is that I thought today was Friday. I’m not sure which Friday because I am so exhausted lately it ought to be illegal for me to even run a washing machine.
…I tried.
Anyway; again, my apologies. No one pointed the mistake out, though, so maybe I’m not the only writer needing a long winter’s nap.
This all ties into something I meant to mention at my weekly wrap-up on Wednesday, which is that I will not be writing a Wilhelmina Winters nor Skinwalkers story next week. I will post the next Skinwalkers tomorrow, and keep the other days for whatever strikes my fancy.
I hope you all have a merry Christmas, especially if you do not read another message from me till after it’s all unwrapped and done.

It’s almost (2 hours away) Saturday where I live – so I didn’t notice that Friday wasn’t there in your neck of the woods. If you’d like to know the lottery numbers in advance I can tell you, provided I get 50%. Have a wonderful Christmas & New Year, Chelsea & family.

Ha, Bruce! You’ve the wrong day, too, if you think it’s already Saturday. I’ll take you up on lottery numbers any day, except I think the ones running the contest might be onto that trick. 🙂

I’m in your time warp as well. Somehow lost a day. Only realised it wasn’t Saturday when Fridays refuge collection arrived without my bin being ready for them. How much more waste can I squeeze in before it explodes. Happy Christmas to you.

Oh, no! We’ve done that twice now, and had to store some of the garbage in the garage. It quite literally stinks when I get into my car…

Unfortunately the days of fitting the car into the garage have gone. Too much junk stored. Unfortunately the car is now parked under the daily flight path of pigeons.

A little something for your terrible Xmas verse, to the tune of While Shepherds watched…
Will Shepherd wore
his crocs and tights
Which cost him just a pound
Until Ben, the transphobic elf Said ‘word has got around.’ ‘We think you’re weird,’
He said aloud, ‘To dress up like a girl.’ ‘Ha, this?’ said Will, with half a shrug,
And a cheesy little twirl.
Will Shepherd added
Silver wings
And sparkles to each cheek,
‘I’m now a Christmas angel, see
With gifts for mild and meek.’
Ben shook his head
And frowned a lot,
‘What do you think you’re at?
‘It takes a girl to wear the wings
And the bloke to wear the hat.’
‘Oh Ben, Dear chum,
You’ve got it wrong,
In this more liberal age.
A bloke can be a fairy too
And girls can be the mag(i).’
‘Well I ain’t pleased,’
Said Ben again
‘Even if Superman’s pants are
On the outside. See at least
A bloke will always be our Santa.’
‘Well that is true,’
Agreed young Will,
‘For girls are ever a’feared
To find that though they’re equal now
It’s the boys what grows the beard.’
