'Twas the day before
Christmas
And all through my
home
The children were
stirring
In an unending
drone.
The cat was tied up
in
All the ribbons and
bows
And the husband was
constantly
Blowing his nose.
The dishes were
done,
Thank God for that,
And the cider was
boiling
In a great spicy
vat.
The stockings were
actually
Hung on the hearth
First time for
everything,
We've made a good
start.
The cards had been
sent
and the gifts were
all wrapped
With the holiday
parties and
Gatherings on
tap.
I'd paid all the
bills
And solidified plans
To settle accounts
and pay Uncle Sam.
2014 was almost all
done
And looking around,
I declared we had
won.
We'd dealt with the
pitfalls,
The angst, and the
fear.
We'd dealt with the
troubles plaguing this year.
2015 approached like
a teaser,
The promise of
better things.
We could all use a
breather.
So I sat down at my
computer
That would bring joy
and fun
To numbers unheard.
On Phinnius, and
Kendra,
And their demon, too,
And their demon, too,
On Rimshot, and
Bam-Bam,
And the whole SEAL crew.
And the whole SEAL crew.
A new story had just
started to gel,
Of a Hollywood
Starlet and her warrior as well.
A serial would come
out,
Full of adventure
and fun,
With sword-fighting
and high-jinks
All while on the run.
Add to that a
succubus and a pair of werewolves,
A vampire menage,
And a dragon who
moves.
Make room for an
assassin
With a princess to
match,
A Sword of God
blademaster
And a Valkyrie,
natch.
Dracula will make an
appearance all right
And a coffee shop
patron who stays for the night.
An incubus who's
looking for one special lady,
And a water-folk pirate who's just a little bit shady.
The stories were
calling
Likes wolves on the
prowl,
Each wanting to be
written
And finished right
now.
But I cracked my
knuckles
And grinned at the
screen.
"Wait your
turn," I said.
"Or I'm gonna
get mean.
I'll leave
cliff-hangers
Right out of the
gate."
And the stories
settled back
On the hard drive to
wait.
So what lies ahead in
the snowy New Year?
What characters get
my attention so dear?
Looks like the
Starlet and her warrior true,
And a Navy SEAL and
his girlfriend, too.
I shall type as long
as my fingers can work
And as long as the
Muse isn't a jerk,
I'll bring you the
best tales, of that have no fear.
So blessings and
love for a happy New Year!
Siobhan
Love it! Christmas Eve Gift to you and yours!
