Bad Santa

You better watch out… You don’t and you’ll cry
You better not doubt… I’m telling you why…
Santa Flaws is coming to town!

He smells like a fungus. He’s covered with lice.
He spits when he talks… and he’s not very nice.
Santa Flaws is coming to town!

He sneaks in while you’re sleeping
And eats up all the cake
He drinks the beer and kicks the dog
So beware for goodness sake!

You better watch out… You don’t and you’ll cry,
You better not doubt… I’m telling you why… Santa Flaws is coming to town!

The side of the family that no one wants to talks about!

Sneaky ~ Illustration Friday

There’s nothing more sneaky than an unclaimed poof!

This is a ditty I wrote some time ago. The illustration that went with it needed a  make over though… so here’s the new Fairy Mary!

Assorted Mummies in my Sketchbook

Pretty gruesome text but beware, that’s the way of the Mummy!

Below is my Miranda Mummy. To read the poem that goes with her click the link below.

Come take a chance

And watch her dance

But make sure

You read the sign!

“Front Row Seats Available!”

By Roberta Baird

Illustration Friday ~ Talisman

Lady Belinda was beautiful of heart
Though her outward appearance gave town folks a start

Her dreams of a suitor had not yet come true
With only internal beauty, what’s a poor hag to do?

So she consulted her Grimoire and found a grand hex
She enchanted a ruby and hung it round her neck

She squealed to the mirror “Why Belinda… You’re hot!”
But her mirror was faulty… to others she was not!

The lesson to garner, so you won’t be alone…
Keep the hope in your heart and not in a stone.
