Santa Sat

Santa Sat 

 Santa sat in calm reflection,
his heart was set in one direction,
Christmas day is near.
Santa Checks His List

His opened list, he checked it twice
Who was naughty, who was nice,
Christmas day is near.

 Soft white beard, stroked in thought,
Making sure no one's forgot.
Christmas day is near.

Santa's head chock full of names,
Who gets dolls and who gets games.
Christmas day is near.

 Santa's workshop in a flurry,
Santa pushed the elves to hurry.
Christmas day is near.

 The North Pole filled with jolly hustle,
Santa laughs at frantic bustle.
Christmas day is near.
Santa's Workshop
Mrs. Claus feeds and stuffs her man,
To make him jolly as she can.
Christmas day is near.

 Toys for Tommy, toys for Jane,
No one forgotten, it is plain.
Christmas day is near.

 Mrs. Claus loves to sing,
Fa-la-la's when bells do ring.
Christmas day is near.

 Santa’s elves outdo themselves,
Stacking toys upon the shelves.
Christmas day is near.

 Presents packed in his red sleigh,
Elves have worked night and day.
Christmas day is here.

 Eight reindeer groomed and fed,
Rudolph waiting at the head.
Christmas day is here.

 Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen,
Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen.
Christmas day is here.


Santa's Full Sack


The children, good as gold each day,
You-Know-Who is on his way!
Christmas day is here.

 His pipe fit tight between his lips,
His red suit wrapped round his hips.
Christmas day is here.

 Through the night sky his team flew,
On the way to me and you.
Christmas day is here.






On the rooftops, click-click-click,
Tiny hooves landed mighty quick.
Christmas day is here.

Down the chimney with full pack,
Stockings stuffed with Cracker Jack.
Christmas day is here.
"To All, A Goodnight!"










Eats your cookies, drinks the milk,
Up the chimney, smooth as silk.
Christmas day is here.

“Happy Christmas to all tonight
To all I wish a fond Good Night!”
Christmas day is here.

Stephen King’s “What Writing Is”

On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft    “What Writing Is” I have written an article in another Blog summarizing several sections in Stephen King's book. This article is about another section of his intriguing book. Stephen King’s “What Writing Is” 4. What Writing Is —pp.103-107 Stephen King suggests: “Telepathy, of course.” Writing is telepathy. Telepathy is defined as “the transmission of information from one person to another without using any of our known sensory channels or physical interaction.” In modern fiction and science fiction, many superheroes and super-villains are endowed with telepathic abilities. The term was coined in 1882 by the classical scholar Frederic W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research, and has remained more popular than the earlier expression thought-transference. (Wikipedia) Writing about telepathy, King suggests that we are “downstream on the time-line”. We are in the here-and-now and as he writes from the past, he

Five of My Top Ten Greatest Novels

Five of My Top Ten Greatest Novels I recently joined a community on Google+ called "The 100 Greatest Novels of All Time". The moderator,   +Brandon Toropov  suggested we post our Top Ten Greatest Novels of All Time List. There are so many great books that I haven't yet read. There are so many authors that I have read that deserve to be mentioned and that I haven't chosen to be on my list (Tolstoy, Twain, James, A. Huxley, Orwell, Austen, Faulkner, J.F. Cooper, Koestler, Conrad, Kipling). Some of the authors whose works I chose had other novels to choose from for my list: Dostoevsky -- “the Bothers Karamazov” and “The Idiot”, Steinbeck -- “Of Mice and Men”, Tolkien -- “The Hobbit”, Hemmingway -- “A Farewell to Arms”, Bronte “Wuthering Heights”. I could go on and on for these authors. The novels I have chosen have altered my views about life or influenced my worldview in some way.
