December 2015: Winners


We...
opened fitting gifts after cheese fondue,
barely avoided a highway crash--phew.
Learned 'Die Hard' is a good holiday flick,
achieved chimney fires sans matches or candlewick.

Ate fried okra, delicious tempeh & a hundred potatoes.
Tried our best to handle parents as friends not foes.
In 70 mm, saw 'The Hateful Eight'
& met the mountains in a frozen state.

Had lunch on a snowy lake,
bought edibles, a belt buckle, patches, pins, liquor & beer for all our sake--
then met a husky puppy who made our hearts ache.

Completed just one puzzle but attempted two more,
saw a seven-dog bobsled as never before!
Slept bad & then better, wiped to the core.

Sat in hot tubs for night sky & sunset sights,
awoke to -17 & a world in white.  
Even saw fireworks & strolled through blossoms of light.

The adventure for now is done,
but all in all, I think we won.
