It was a bright and sunny afternoon
When a delivery in Burlingtoon
Caused endless smiles and many gasps—
Fantastisch gifts from Sinterklaas!
Monkey uttered not a single word
But his eyes sparkled above his beard.
He pushed up his sleeves and started to mug
So we could take photos to put on the blog.
We heard one oink. The elephant’s a mystery.
The chocolate was captured, so it is history.
It’s clear that Zappos didn’t deliver these shoes,
Moreover, they usually come in twos.
Dear Sinterklaas shook his head sadly
When he discovered that Linda rhymes badly.
She did not learn poetry like her dear friend,
But she tried, and hopes it’s okay in the end.
Dank u! Dank u! U maakte ons glimlachen.
Thank you! Thank you! You made us smile.
We wish you a Merry Christmas with time to sew!
Linda & Monkey
So who did Monkey start to mug? LOLOL…
‘Tis a great poem Linda & very funny ;-D

Monkey is so cute. Thanks for the wonderful post.
Monkey, you’re a hoot!!
What a lovely Dutch “Santa” Monkey makes! I think he would look very manly or the Monkey equivilent in a kilt and tam too!
Merry Christmas from Utah (where no one wears a kilt about except my 22 yr old son when he gets a notion!)
What a day-brightener this is on this grey rainy day in Cincinnati! Thanks for your “pathetic rhymes” and for sharing this with us. I will be checking the tag for more in the future!
Monkey shows that he will be ageing well!!! Keep on with your poetic skills. Absolutely wonderful! And all of the Dutch is faultless. Most impressive.
I just noticed your tag ‘pathetic rhymes’! LOL
Do you plan to do more of those on your blog?
Dear Linda,
An elephant named Houdini
In a silver bikini
would have made you look teeny
by comparison
The elephant named Houdini
In a rhinestone bikini
Didn’t work out as planned;
Once in the box
It was out of my hand
An elephant named Houdini
In a g-string bikini
Cuffed with shackles and locks
In a sealed metal box
But it’s gone
An elephant named Houdini
In a silver bikini
Is a lot of gray matter
and a trunk full of tricks
So with an elephant named Houdini
In a g-string bikini
It’s just the image that sticks
Dank u, dank u, u maakte ons heel hard lachen!! <+:-) Merry Christmas to you, too!
Thank you for making my day bright and merry. Monkey – you are a treasure and Linda is very lucky to have you as a friend!
Some days are just too much fun.
Note to self: Photos turn out blurry if shaking with laughter.
Thanks for visiting!
OMG its Monkey! It took a moment:)
You work puts me in stitches. NeNe the Turtle say Aloha and Mele Kalikimaka.
