    Penny's Poetry Blog's poem for Christmas Eve:
    A Christmas Childhood, by Patrick Kavanagh
    [...]
    The light between the ricks of hay and straw
    Was a hole in Heaven’s gable. An apple tree
    With its December-glinting fruit we saw –
    O you, Eve, were the world that tempted me.

    Excellent choice, my friend Travis is a Kavanagh fan, and I've been meaning to read more of his poetry.

    Travis and I are facebook "friends." When I promoted the poem this am, I put an announcement on his profile page.
    Excellent little Christmas card.


    I'd like to see you send Christmas cards. From PRISON.

    What a naughty boy you are, Alex, and on Christmas Eve no less!

    I'd like to see Santa tell your mommy to take away your internet again.

    That's excellent, although I found Travis will return to here.

    I think you mean "doubt."

    Right, it was an autocorrect typo.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Travis is a good guy and talented singer/poet.....

    Yes, he was, and in addition he'd built up a small group of other poets. He seems to have got out of poetry at this point. He's taken down his poetry blog, alas.

    I do miss him, though. I regret that the Chimp drove him away, but what can you do; Chimps gotta Chimp. I have to take some of the blame; if I hadn't spent those years trying to coexist with Team Monkey, and had dealt with them

    In real life, the pandemic caused many of us to drift apart during those months of complete shut down, and some people I'm just now reconnecting with.

    IIRC, everyone got along with Travis just fine

    Your memory isn't often very dependable, though, Pendragon.

    HTH and HAND.

    In this case, it is.

    Travis was liked by all.

    Okay, that's good to know.

    Poor little guy.
    🙂
    Short, maybe, but little? I've seen the pictures.
    Are you fantasizing about Alex's... wiener... again, George?
    I've never thought about it. I'm not surprised you would, though.
    I was thinking of advising Mrs. Cain to make like Papa Senetto and start locking Alex in the trunk of the car as punishment, but then I realized that they'd need to buy a much bigger car.

    Um... George... you do realize that the poem you're referencing was about *you* and *your father*... don't you?
    No, there's nothing to do with me or my father.

    You're in denial -- on both counts.
    No, it was just another childish attack poem from Jim Senetto. >>>> >> >> > Most of us were able to identify it as a parody.
    With G.D. as the topic, written by the well known obsesso nutjob Jim Senetto = attack post...

    Funny how G.D. failed to pick up on that.
    I think that he did.

    Sometimes George trolls the trolls.

    How does making oneself appear to be a dunce
    Look who's talking, Michael Pendragon, the delusional fuckwit with the fantasies of being a better poet than T.S. Eliot.

    I did a little homage to Eliot

    That's better than your delusional fantasies about being a better poet than Eliot


    Indeed... and agreed....!

    A good start, anyway.
