ice
#whimsh 52. Write a PROSE POEM incorporating lice, ice, mice, dice, and Christ.
Ice ice baby remembered from a song of youth. Do you remember when Ice T was on law and order? You’re as cold as ice. Don’t break the ice. That stupid red hammer clanging against plastic. Tink tink tink.
When all the through the house, not a creature was stirring not even a mouse. And the mice were all snuggled in their beds while visions of a baby Christ danced through their heads. And she wonders when Christmas got so commercialized. Was it so when she was a child? She didn’t care then, she rolled the dice and moved her mice. And wondered why the Christmas stash never seemed to stack up to her friends’ stashes. She hated the first days after Christmas when all the talk was of what did you get for Christmas. Greedy girl she was upon reflection but still. Are they greedy? Not so much thank goodness. Is that because they are loving angels. Or because they are pretty well spoiled. Probably the first. Love will conquer all. Even lice.
Now her head itches.
Random: spouseman called that a whole heap of crazy. my children are listening to something that sounds like a mourning dove and a rice shaker. your mileage may vary.

LOL
It may be a heap of crazy but it’s very modern yet somehow appealing. I remember that game! I must have been good at it. All this talk of ice makes me crave popsicles.
What really knocked me out was those cheap goulashes.
There was a great SNL Cold As Ice video featuring a guy with an ax or scissors in his back while a chick stared impassively at his floundering struggles.
I love how you had rhymed everything.
Rapper turned actor…
I actually liked his character on LW SUV. I thought he pretty good on that series.
omg. you are too funny. and funny you should mention a dove. there might be one over on my site. meanwhile, you must be better, or the meds are kicking in
blame it on the meds, baby. i love stream-of-consciousness, cause i am so. i know, ego. again.
@Bels_Kaylar - oh, yea. that’s where i’d heard dove before. i guess i should go read the freaking genius.
i think the meds have kicked in. or sleep deprivation. either way, i’m feeling goooooood. 
@armnatmom - loved that show. i thought he was good too.
@angys_coco - it was the “assignment”.
@Roadkill_Spatula - i’ll look for that. your cheap galoshes made me laugh. oh but goulashes. boots or soup. huh.
@lanney - popsicles. that season is done, girl. modern? i’ve been all kinds of modern this week. what is up with that.
@Kris0logy - there is some of that. here.
popsicles are always in season in my house
@lanney - i cannot be trusted with popsicles.
Now my head itches!
LOL! Meds are good…makes for interesting stream of consciousness poetry.
@murisopsis - seriously. worst thing ever.
@songoftheheart - not what i had in mind for today, but at least i finished something. the stream is always flowing.
I like it. Now read it aloud in Ben Stein’s voice.
I get pissed off when people complain that at stores they say happy holidays instead of merry Christmas. They are hating the commercialization of Christmas by commercializing Christmas
@leaflesstree - giggling over here.
@godfatherofgreenbay - isn’t the happy holidays thing also to include hanukkah and kwanzaa and stuff?
In a round about way are you blaming the commercialization of Christmas on a quaint and catchy poem?
@vexations - i had a purpose? i think it was the drugs.
How clever can you get! This was a delicious read except for those dang lice.
@ZSA_MD - i guarantee you i didn’t want the lice. that leah and her word lists.
well I always thought in my Christian centric mind that “happy holidays” included Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day, and Epiphany.
@godfatherofgreenbay - pentecost, valentine’s, halloween. july 4th.
‘Your milage may vary.’ I don’t know why but this struck me as absolutely funny. Perhaps it has to do with Christmas which is so close one could almost touch it and I am so NOT ready for any of the upcoming holidays. I think I will climb into bed and not come out until 2013. Wishful thinking…
@MzSilver - i amused myself saying it. can i tell you about this christmas? oh. my. god. i have a kid turning 12, a kid turning 16 (holy shit), and i’m graduating (that’s the plan) from grad school between dec. 21 and dec 26. and i’m usually a freaking basket case from halloween to new years. i’m going to need an awful lots of laughs this year.
ok. deep breaths. sorry to explode on ya.
@promisesunshine - Explode away. My life is so quiet I think I can absorb it. *smile… I think my Monday blog may be to your liking based on your upcoming schedule. All I want is to get off the train some place quiet. Any little island will do for the rest of the year. I’ll do what I can to keep you laughing, my dear…
@MzSilver - thanks peggy sue. i appreciate it. throw some of those sexy pix in too just for fun.
@promisesunshine - I’m researching one now. We will see what I can come up with.
