A Christmas Message




Merry Christmas To My Female Friends
If I were ol' Santa, you know what I'd doI'd dump silly gifts that are given to you
And deliver some things just inside your front door
Things you have lost, but treasured before.
*
I'd give you back all your maidenly vigor,
And to go along with it, a neat tiny figure.
Then restore the old color that once graced your hair
Before rinses and bleaches took residence there.
*
I'd bring back the shape with which you were gifted
So things now suspended need not be uplifted.
I'd draw in your tummy and smooth down your back
Till you'd be a dream in those tight fitting slacks.
*
I'd remove all your wrinkles and leave only one chin
So you wouldn't spend hours rubbing grease on your skin
You'd never have flashes or queer dizzy spells
And you wouldn't hear noises like ringing of bells.
*
No sore aching feet and no corns on your toes
No searching for spectacles when they're right on your nose
Not a shot would you take in your arm, hip or fanny
From a doctor who thinks you're a nervous old granny.
*
You'd never have a headache, so no pills would you take.
And no heating pad needed since your muscles won't ache.
Yes, if I were Santa, you'd never look stupid
You'd be a cute little chick with the romance of a cupid.
*
I'd give a lift to your heart when those wolves start to whistle
And the joys of your heart would be light as a thistle.
But alas! I'm not Santa. I'm simply just me
The matronest of matrons you ever did see.
*
I wish I could tell you all the symptoms I've got
But I'm due at my doctor's for an estrogen shot.
Even though we've grown older this wish is sincere
Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year!
*

Alas, I almost wish you were Santa, too. Ah, to dream.

But, I love you just the way you are. And, besides you don't really want a belly that shakes like a bowl full of jelly - do you?! ;-)

Hey...I'm putting those things on my Christmas list next year!!! Thanks Bo for letting me into your life through your blog, thanks for the kind sweet words that lifted me up, and thanks for all the belly laughs you've given me through your comments. You always bring a smile to my face. Sometimes when I'm making a post I'll type something and then thing to myself "I can't wait to hear what Bo says about this!" Because I always know you're going to crack me up! You're one in a million and it has been so much fun to get to know you. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and yours...and nothing but the best for you in this coming year!

Bridget said...

Merry Christmas Bo, you sure nailed it right on the head with the things I should have asked for. I'll have to remember those for next year's list. At least I am in very good company in my estrogen deprivation.
Hugs, Bridget

Bo, I can't believe I missed your Dec. 24th post. When I came by to wish you a Merry Christmas it wasn't up yet. I love your poem. Oh, if it could only be true. Smiling Big.

I hope your Christmas was wonderful my friend. Just like you. Before Christmas I visited some blogging friends in Raleigh. Go to Deborah at PICTURES, POTS ANS PENS (on my sidebar) and her Friday photo is there of the four of us. Wouldn't it be fun if we could visit each other?

I was lucky to find that rug and no one seemed interested in it but me. That find was in Fl. We do not have a Good Will here. Sigh.

Have a wonderful day Bo. We are making room in my dh's office for my grandsons to sleep. They will be here on Monday with my Daughter and her new dog Tanner. I will have fun posting some photos then.

Love and hugs...Jeanne

Lynne (lynnesgiftsfromtheheart) said...

Good morning my friend, I hope you had the best Christmas ever. Thanks for swinging by to see the bowl..you're so right my Betty would be delighted to think I'm sharing it with all my blogging friends. I hope you have a super Saturday...hugs ~lynne~

Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality said...

That is So cute, Bo! Thanks for coming by & I hope you all have a wonderful New Years. It's been fun getting to know you this year.

Sweetie said...

Bo - I know that you really would give us those gifts if you could. I want to thank you for the sympathy that you expressed over the sudden passing of my husband. I should be back to blogging by the middle of next week.
With love,
Sweetie

Darlene said...

Hi Bo,

No that is not a new puppy my dad is holding it is just one of their two spoiled little poodles (she is full grown and is just tiny). My mom is holding the other one.

Oh Bo, If only Santa could deliver on that list! What a dream!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
