A musing upon the season

Consumer

Consumer

Elder Statesman
I hiked yesterday
Through the oaks and saw mistletoe
although I had no one to kiss under it
I was ok with that, I didn't need the distraction

Rolling hills
moss on the old trees
A RBT (Really Big Tree) Bay to give perspective
And a hilltop to stand and rest at.

And the day before
amid lights and the smell of pine
Song
and a dog playing with the torn paper

I saw my son
enjoying the attention
that's what he wanted
far more than the toys

I'm sure that will change soon
but this year
there was a purity to him
that melted my heart to a degree

The ex even gave me a present
but like most gifts I receive
it's a mixed blessing
she's engaged (might simplify the support arrangements)

I was not with
the ones I would kiss
I miss them
but at least I was touched in a way.

As the Holidays go
this was not a bad one
I did not drink
I did no harm.

An old friend
a Mistress of verse and song
and with a very dirty mind
sent me a poem.

I can accept such gifts
pasta and Popsicle sticks
Sighs and verse
Memories...

The positive I see in such seasons
amid the pressure and stress
is that we are given a designated time
to remember those we love.

You better never come here then - we have quite a lot of trees with more than 50 mistles on them. It'd be pretty difficult to not get distracted ;)

Dear TCON, I believe the distraction referred to was someone to kiss under the mistletoe, not the mistletoe itself.
 
yep, but we have a lack of handsome males here, so that we can offer a lot of distraction. And with mistletoes literally everywhere, there'd be no escape for him :smfgrin:
 
Yeah, though Consumer walks alone
through the forests of Germany
he should look up and see
the little white berries of the
plant that causes kissing,
the mistletoe,
and know that he is the
best looking man in Germany
and all the ladies are looking for him

Run, Consumer, Run!
 
No one told me he was a carpenter, plumber, electrician, tree trimming, lawn care expert kind of person.
 
Men are pigs tonight. :phpevil: And woman are dumb for following them. :phpevil: I know, I know, its my own fault. I will probably regret saying this.
Happy Holidays?
Merry New Year?

Is it Valentines day yet? Might as well throw that one right on top of all the others.

I don't want to crack your monitor or be responsible for the therapy bills. Suffice it to say this: I'm strawberry blond, have long hair, a goatee, and frighten small children at 50 yards when I smile. Look at "casting your life" and you'll get a romanticized version.


Fabulous. Tell me more.

Pruned trees, mowed lawns, installed and repaired concrete pads where necessary, replaced commodes, cut a hole in the wall for an air-conditioner and ran a 220 line for it (which was later inspected by a REAL electrician who said I should never do that again), arranged for a contractor to replace a sewer line, un-plugged drains, painted my son's room, etc. Home-owner stuff.

Now my ex ignores maintenance and the place is falling apart rapidly. I told her to start fucking a plumber and a carpenter (and now there's video on the internet of her doing both at the same time). Meh.
