The Gift Outright


O
wow
today
I learned
a new trick
that has nothing
whatever to do with
Christmas but I thought
I would have a little fun
and possibly amuse some of
you at the same time. However,
if you are not amused I cannot do
one earthly thing at all about it with
the possible exception of cheerfully refund-
ing your money and then going back to my room
where I shall weep many buckets of bitter and salty
tears
after
which
I may
kill myself.

    Your wordy tree is clever.

  3. Pat, thanks! Actually, I have your blog to thank.

    Putz, it wasn't so much to do; this post practically composed itself in what was probably record time.

  4. Crikey, your tree brings back memories from my English teaching days. Going senile, can't remember what they're called.

  5. O
    my
    I fear
    that I am
    confined to
    only half of a
    Christmas Tree. I
    guess that one might
    be always limited by the
    templates of comment boxes;
    AKA "left justification". I will not
    weep great buckets of tears but instead
    look forward to many years of fun reads of your blog.
    Oh
    by
    the
    way
    do not
    kill yourself...

  6. O my I forgot
    to
    ask
    for
    my refund. Might you send a check
    or might it be easier for you to
    utilize a handy credit card? I
    am also amenable to receiving
    a cashier's check or money
    order. Teller's checks are
    also an option but I will
    defer to the method that
    is most comfortable to
    your means. That said
    I spent no money so
    I guess that my
    refund would
    amount to
    zero, or
    better
    put,
    0.

  7. Well you are a modern man lol
    I hear kids talking like this meaning to tell people they actually don't care. lol
    But I feel eerie talking about death. Its like saying if you invite the devil in he will come in.

  8. Wow, Anonymous! I'm impressed! Two halves make a whole, even though one of them is upside down....

    Lady's Life, I am definitely not inviting the devil in!

  9. Grumpy Old Ken, I wish you could remember what they are called, because I don't have a clue.
