My ghostwriter, Casper, just sent me this lovely verse to share. 

 

 

BRRR! Outside its ten below
and the Furies rage with snow
yet I know 'tis time to go
for my ador'ed mistletoe.

Torrid kissing ne'er invoked,
shy, now, prince with velvet cloak,
tingling toes now shoes encloak;
gone the magic, now the yoke...

I think Casper hates to throw out the Misletoe.
Wilma M. Jan 5, 2010, 8:38pm UTC
He probably always has it on hand for emergencies!
Deb J. Jan 5, 2010, 3:05pm UTC
I hear ya Casper!!!!!
Wilma M. Jan 5, 2010, 8:38pm UTC
So you agree with him, huh?
Deb J. Jan 5, 2010, 9:47pm UTC
It sure seems that way from my experience many a time.
Curt L. Jan 5, 2010, 3:50pm UTC
...gone the magic, now the yoke...love that line!

Neat poem!
Wilma M. Jan 5, 2010, 8:37pm UTC
I like that line too. It really conveys an image.

Thanks, Curt.

Funny...and sad how that happens.
Wilma M. Jan 5, 2010, 8:38pm UTC
That's true, Marge.

Just give me the mistletoe and I'll put it up in every room.

We need the snow in Casper's poem to cool off our sizzling toes. Wow!

Do you mean you want to kiss all day long or your feet are getting to hot under the heating pad? I am about to see how great my warm blanket feels now.
Wilma M. Jan 7, 2010, 1:54am UTC
Gee, I don't think I'd better respond to lynn's comment. I'll let you handle it, Norma!
Cindy B. Jan 6, 2010, 12:05am UTC
That Casper sure can write! =)
Wilma M. Jan 7, 2010, 1:54am UTC
Yes, Casper is a great writer, Cindy.
Toni V. Jan 6, 2010, 8:43am UTC

Hi, Toni. Thanks for stopping by.

Love it Wilma, hope you are toastie, but not from heating pad, don't think you can go anywhere warm this winter, Billy is really cold in Sacramento, out there with a motorcycle he can't ride, lol, no car like he had here, well it snowed for the first time where he lives since 1970, darn the global warming,
Wilma M. Jan 20, 2010, 9:30am UTC
Hopefully, he gets some warmer weather soon!
Renda B. Jan 12, 2010, 8:01pm UTC
Casper sure knows how to write!
Wilma M. Jan 20, 2010, 9:31am UTC
He does, doesn't he, Renda?
Renda B. Jan 20, 2010, 6:29pm UTC
Yessir! You're very fortunate to have him ;)
Debra H. Jan 13, 2010, 10:24am UTC
How sweet, Casper has a romantic side
Wilma M. Jan 20, 2010, 9:31am UTC
I guess he must.
Sheila Deeth Jan 15, 2010, 2:19am UTC
Odd, sad and sweet. Casper's good.
Wilma M. Jan 20, 2010, 9:31am UTC
Casper is a talented writer. Maybe the 2 of you will meet up at a book sale.
Jo C. Jan 16, 2010, 1:35pm UTC
