An ingenious and fun idea for a Christmas card or other similar occasion. I would have to work hard to take this sort of thing seriouslt which does not mean that there is no place for them in the poet's armoury, just that they are good fun pieces ideal at this time of year.

Don't forget New year too, Tom. Old Father Time with his scythe and the shiny New year as... well you decide.

Very cool and unique, Tom. I really enjoyed this and the fact that the words are formatted to create a visual mage, or shape, is merely icing on an already sweet cake as far as I am concerned.
Great work!

Treischel--
Who but the Grinch would five this? Me, I guess.

Nice Christmas Card but that's not what I need or am looking for.

Thanks. There's a new translation of the New Testament out in "real speak." meaning how the people really spoke then -- that's more like it.

Thanks
Wabigoon/Jeff

Thank you Teresa. You make me smile. I don't do contests any more though. Too frustrating.
