A little stocking stuffer . . . .
Dec 6th 2007
Karen HawkinsOn Writing!
Want to win an ARC for my January release TO CATCH A HIGHLANDER? Then join in today as we write our own Christmas songs!
Use any Christmas song you love and rewrite the lyrics so that it’s about your time here at Mt. Oly.
I’ll do one! (I love to do these things.)
To the tune of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer:
You know Jeffries and Dain, Enoch and Jordan!!
Hawkins, and Rose, Gibson and London!
But do you recall, the best of Mt. Oly and ALL?
Perky, our Goddess Readers, have a very biting wit!
And if you ever read them, your coffee you would spit!
All of the other blogs, watch with massive jealousy!
They never had our great Readers, join in so fun and merry!
Oooooh! That was fun!
Anyway, you get the point. If you want TO CATCH A HIGHLANDER in your Christmas stocking, a MONTH before it’s released, then get to rhyming!

WOW, KarenH, that was good! I’m in awe
I don’t think I’ll try one until I’ve had some coffee…
Ellen on 06 Dec 2007 at 8:16 am #
Thank you Goddess Karen. This is exactly what I need to drag me out of this funk. In the immortal words of Ahnowd, “I’ll be back.”
Lisa H on 06 Dec 2007 at 8:29 am #
I just can’t wait for Ellen’s song….I’ll be checking back!
While I’m away, just hum, “nine rigga mortis” haha
Karen Hawkins on 06 Dec 2007 at 8:34 am #
KarenR, coffee-fy! That’s my word of the day.
Out darn funk! Ellen, glad you’ll be back!
And Lisa, ‘nine rigga mortis’ is soooo wrong in such a right way! Lol!!!

(Sing to Jingle Bells)
Typing with finesse
Nobody cares about my face
My hair ‘s a total mess
I’m a basket case
You try to make me smile
When I feel so sad
You go the extra mile
And ignore me when I’m bad
Oooooh
Bloggers come
Bloggers go
But we are here to stay
We write our words
So tongue in cheek
And make each other’s day AAAY
Bloggers come
Bloggers go
What’s the topic today?
Oh thank God
It’s gonna be fun
NO WORK FOR ME TODAAAAY!
Gannon on 06 Dec 2007 at 9:37 am #
LOL, Ellen! I knew you’d come up with good one!
I’ll have to give mine some thought…..
Karen Hawkins on 06 Dec 2007 at 9:37 am #
Lol! Excellent, Ellen! I’m going to be humming that one!
Gannon on 06 Dec 2007 at 9:38 am #
‘A’ good one! Sheesh! Not enough coffee!

Sung to: Up on the Roof Top Reindeer pause,
Here comes good old Santa Claus,
Up on the Mt top goddesses reign
Here comes good ole writer’s thoughts
Down through the years with lots of success
All for us little fans, year round joy
Ho Ho Ho Goddesses Grow
Ho Ho Ho Goddesses Glow OH!
Up on the Mt top the women reign supreme
Thanks for the memories
You’re held in great esteem
Needs some tweaking!!
doglady on 06 Dec 2007 at 9:52 am #
Stellar work, Ladies!!! You are all entirely too perky for me this morning!! I will have to give this one some thought today while I am at work. GRRR! Still these songs will make me smile and I do love smiling when nobody knows why!! Makes ‘em crazy!!
Kim on 06 Dec 2007 at 9:54 am #
There’s that excerpt I’ve been waiting for! *veg*
Ellen on 06 Dec 2007 at 10:07 am #
(Sing to “We three kings of Orient are”)
We the goddesses of Mt Oly are
The wildest women of near or of far
In see through blouses
We’ll bring down the houses
Then head on out, to our favorite bar
Oooooh oh
Goddesses of sarcasm
Goddesses of might
Check out our asses
What an ungodly sight
Still we laugh at them
Write songs to bash at them
Who needs an ass that’s far too tight?
Ellen on 06 Dec 2007 at 10:09 am #
Laurie…Goddesses Grow. Damn. You’ve been checking my Jenny Craig file. LOL
Kim on 06 Dec 2007 at 10:20 am #
THis was too much fun to pass up! To the tune of Up on the Housetop.
Up on the mountain Goddesses pause
Out jumps good old Handmaiden Kim
Down through the hot springs with lots of nectar
All for the creative ones, Christmas FROS
Hot, hot, hot! We want Colin!
Hot, hot, hot! We want Hugh!
Up on the mountain, click, click, click
Down through the hallways with Handmaiden Kim.
First comes the slide show of Hugh Jackman
Oh, dear Karen, filled it well.
Give her a day with him all alone
We’ll never hear the end.
Hot, hot, hot! We want Clive!
Hot, hot, hot! We want George!
(same half chorus)
Next comes the picture of Cookiedough’s friend
Oh, just see what a glorious fill! (teehee, didn’t even have to change this line)
Here is a picture of Richard and Brad
Also don’t forget Heath and Jude.
Hot, hot, hot! We want FROS!
Hot, hot, hot! We want FROS!
Karen Hawkins on 06 Dec 2007 at 10:26 am #
Wow! Laurie is flowing with the groove this morning! And I dig the goddesses glowing! The growing part . . . we’ll talk. Lol!

Kari, I’m glad Channing is still ‘ringing’ with you. Heh!
Cookie, the chocolate carrot cake was a divine addition! I love it!
Mia Rose on 06 Dec 2007 at 12:10 pm #

Sund to Jingle Bells
Dashing through my brain
In a one track minded blurr
Over the fros pics we go
Lusting all the way Ha Ha Ha
Bells on FROs tails ring
Making goddesses drool
What fun it is to laugh and blog
In the snow or in the pool
Oh Goddess Blogs
Goddess Blogs
typing with out cease
They don’t care
What we wear
As long as we are here
Oh Goddess Blogs
Not big hogs
Lovely and witty too
They make us laugh
Until we cry
And write books that sell good too!
Mia Rose on 06 Dec 2007 at 1:30 pm #
This is dangerous, because I listen to X-Mas music all day long, and now every time I hear a song, I think of different lyrics! I’m never going to get any work done
Okay, this time hum ‘White Christmas’…
I’m dreaming of a hottie FRO
Just make sure I see one Pronto
Where his tanned skin glistens
And we all become smitten
To hope we win the FRO’s lotto
I’m dreaming of a hottie FRO
With every Mt. Oly goddess blog
May your FRO be far from a hog
And may all your FROS be missing togs (had to look that word up)
I’m dreaming of a hottie FRO
With every hope of being naughty
May your FRO have a great body
And may you dream of the 2 of you in Bali

ct009ct on 06 Dec 2007 at 1:47 pm #
Note to myself: the house is NOT cleaning itself!
To the tune of “Here comes Santa Claus”
Here come the Goddesses
Here come the Goddesses
Right down Mt. Oly Lane!
Karen and Rachel and Julia, too
Are writing like their insane.
Nicole is researching, Suzanne is editing
Karen is making us rhyme
Sabrina is plotting and Claudia’s outlining
Writing books sure does take time!
Karen Hawkins on 06 Dec 2007 at 1:57 pm #
These are even better than I imagined they’d be — and I had high expectations, too!
Hey wait, ct! I’m the only author in your song who isn’t doing a WRITING related job and that’s just . . . ok, that’s probably pretty accurate. I did bake a cake today, though. AND I did the dishes. Oh, and I found something for my daughter’s Xmas Pile. Does any of that count?
Suzanne Enoch on 06 Dec 2007 at 2:04 pm #
Hey, I’m trying to get some work done today! Instead I’m reading Goddess lyrics and laughing my arse off.
SuzyQ on 06 Dec 2007 at 2:15 pm #
Oh you ladies are way too good!
Paula on 06 Dec 2007 at 2:28 pm #
These are all fantastic, I shall just have to enjoy reading what all you talented ladies can do. I shan’t be able to think of some of the original christmas songs in the ususal way anymore. This is fantastic. Not much of any work being done in my house today! There’s always tomorrow!!
Karen Rose on 06 Dec 2007 at 3:20 pm #
To Deck the Halls:
Up up-on old Mt Oly
Goddesses totally rock and rule
We decorate with yard art so jolly
Ignoring Zeus’s ridicule.
Don we now our bikinis and togas
Goddesses totally rock and rule
And on Sundays we have yummy FRO-OS
This is way better than teaching school!
Verse 2:
Every day is something new-ew
Goddesses totally rock and rule
Into my keyboard my TAB I do spew-ew
And mess up writing cubicle.
Better readers are nowhere
Goddesses totally rock and rule
I’m glad the holidays we can share
The Goddess Blogs is very cool!
Sabrina Jeffries on 06 Dec 2007 at 3:32 pm #
Here’s an attempt:
I wonder as I wander
The Mt. Oly site
How our bloggers can be so
Amazingly right.
They’re clever and witty
And just so much fun
And I surely do enjoy THEM!!!!!
For they are the bomb.
Cookiedough on 06 Dec 2007 at 3:32 pm #
lol everyone is so much fun!
Nicole Jordan on 06 Dec 2007 at 3:38 pm #
Wow, these are great! I’m in awe of your talent, goddesses!
Karen Rose on 06 Dec 2007 at 3:45 pm #
Karen H - you did the dishes? I bow to you. I cleaned up my kitchen THOUROUGHLY over Thanksgiving and have been making the family eat off paper plates ever since. I’m not kidding.
We did use the china on T-giving and it’s clean and still sitting on my dining room table waiting to be put away. I’m thinking if I put it off long enough, it’ll be Christmas and we can just use it again.
NOOOO - it can’t be Christmas because my deadline’s 1/1.
Karen Rose on 06 Dec 2007 at 3:52 pm #
It’s beginning to look a lot like deadline,
Everywhere you go
Take a look around my house
If you can find your way around
The stacks of mail and TAB cans.
It’s beginning to look a lot like deadline,
My hair is such a mess,
Pizza Hut’s on speed dial
I step around the piles
Of all the holiday cards I mean to address!
It’s beginning to look a lot like deadline,
Clues and bodies are piling up
Villains are chasing heroes
But the heroes are very smart
And will win the heroine’s heart
(reprise, one more time!)
And will shoot the villain in the heart
Ta-da!

(This is going to be sooo bad but no one has done this song yet)
Sung to: Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late)
Goddesses Goddesses gather near
We talk of books and talk of brassieres
We like the wine but it never lasts
In the forum you’ll find some laughs
On Mt Oly we have a hoot
Say, can you swing a hula hoop?
(I tired and tried but there was no tactful way to combine Sabrina, KarenH, KarenR, Rachel, Claudia, Nicole, Julia and Suzanne into Alvin, Simon and Theadore for the beginning part)
tactful, haha I said tactful hahahhaha
KariE on 06 Dec 2007 at 3:56 pm #
(tried and tried) oops
Karen Hawkins on 06 Dec 2007 at 4:15 pm #
Lol! You guys are toooo good at this!
I bow to you all! Karen Rose, i’m glad you’re on deadline — piles of tab cans or no.
ct009ct on 06 Dec 2007 at 4:33 pm #
Help - I can’t seem to stop!
To the tune of “Away in the Manger”
Way up on Mt. Oly, no time for their naps.
The Goddesses sit with computers in their laps.
The hours fly by, as they type a silly song.
They’re amusing each other, the whole day long.
Julia London on 06 Dec 2007 at 5:03 pm #
These are so good! CT. I think you might be on to something in yours, LOL.
You guys rock!

oooo. better idea… to the tune of Dreidel, Dreidel Dreidel
Goddess Goddess Goddess, you do so love to play,
you’re witty charming and funny, and speed along my day.
your stories are so spicy,
with plots of love galore
and when i meet your heroes
it makes me yell for more
Goddess Goddess Goddess, please remember to write
your stories keep us going, and keep us up all night
(Happy 3rd night of Hanukkah)
Mia Rose on 06 Dec 2007 at 5:45 pm #
Okay, one more and then I promise I’m done! I HAVE to work today and we have family visiting… this is just too much fun.
Hark the writing goddesses
Glory to the penned princes
Peace on earth and on paper
Goddesses, FROS make me simper
Joyful all Mt. Oly rise
Join in the blogging replies
With the perfect goddess wit
Goddesses were born with spirit
-repeat-
Gannon on 06 Dec 2007 at 6:25 pm #
To the tune of “Let It Snow”
Oh, Mt. Oly is our favorite place
With the Goddesses, fair of face
And as long as they love us so
Give us FROS, give us FROS, give us FROS!
They know how we love those guys
Yes, those hotties help us fantasize
Be they celebs or average Joes
Give us FROS, give us FROS, give us FROS!
When we check out those bods on our screens
Our temperatures begin to rise
They become the men of our dreams
With abs of steel and bedroom eyes!
Oh, the Goddesses are divine
Sharing these men with us, they’re so kind
And they know that we love them so
Give us FROS, give us FROS, give us FROS!
Ellen on 06 Dec 2007 at 6:28 pm #
Ode to our Karens (sing as Away in the Manger)
Away on Mt. Oly, no rest for her head
Poor little Karen Rose plots for the dead
She racks up the tab cans, revealing small clues
And now we know Jeffrey Dahmer is her secret muse
Away with Karen H, just baking a cake
She washed a few dishes; family’s health was at stake
She composed a little ditty for our Christmas glee
And some were so funny, I almost went pee
I’m thankful for the Karens, filled with such fun
Catch em on New Years, when they’re filled with Blue Nun
Whether writing or Blogging, they bring forth my smiles
And laugher is the one thing that erases the miles
And to all a good night…for now. LOL
Claudia Dain on 06 Dec 2007 at 6:31 pm #
I can’t believe the talent here! You guys are amazing.
Karen Rose on 06 Dec 2007 at 7:01 pm #
Aaw, Ellen. I think being filled with Blue Nun would make me sleep like a baby, (with a wicked headache the next day) but one or two chocolate martinis might result in some fun.
PS - Dahmer. Ew.
Good night, Ellen. Sweet dreams (not of cannibals, no matter how fine or how young.)
Lisa H on 06 Dec 2007 at 7:27 pm #
Thank you Ellen…nine rigga mortis…
Gannon on 06 Dec 2007 at 7:47 pm #
Everyone’s songs are hilarious! Just wanted to add another…
To the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas
On the 12th day of Christmas the Goddess’s books gave to me….
Twelve kilts a’ flying
Eleven bosoms heaving
Ten lords a’ lusting
Nine ladies gasping
Eight mamas scheming
Seven rogues romancing
Six skirts a’ lifting
Five minutes more
Four legs entwined
Three days alone
Two lovers caught
And a parson in the chapel
Thanks, Karen H for such a fun idea!
Brenda on 06 Dec 2007 at 8:19 pm #
OLYMPUS WONDERLAND
(please sing to the tune of Winter Wonderland)
Authors write, are you reading?
On Mt. Oly, fun’s not fleeting.
Whatta beautiful sight,
We’re happy tonight,
Looking at the FROS by moonlight.
Go right now, to the bookstore
Give Mom a break - buy Karen’s book,
Get some advice,
A recipe that’s nice,
Then talk in a virtual wonderland.
In the forum you can join a song fest.
And get hints or tips on what you like best!
They say Are they be married?
We‘ll say No man.
It’s the Regency period
They will fall when they can.
Later on, we’ll conspire,
And we’ll dream by the fire
Of the friends that we‘ve made,
The time we have stayed,
With the Goddesses on the Mount!
**I know that it can use a little tweaking but I tried to incorporate a little bit of everything in the very short amount of time I had to get it together! If I have time to tweak and come back, I will!!
Ellen on 06 Dec 2007 at 8:39 pm #
Lisa H…don’t know about you but that song will never be the same for me!
Thanks so much everyone. I really needed this to get back my mojo. I have been laughing all day. You guys are really talented!
Karen Hawkins on 06 Dec 2007 at 9:08 pm #
I am in such a quandry now as to pick a ‘winner’ so I’m going to put everyone’s name in a hat and just draw one. They’re ALL phenom — what TALENT!
Sheesh, people! ALL of you should be writing books!
I’ll post the winner in the morning. Want to be sure we give our Late Night Goddesses time to contribute, too.
Kasey on 06 Dec 2007 at 9:41 pm #
I didn’t have a lot of time so I just did the 12 days of Christmas….it is the last week of classes so I am swamped….but here it goes and Haapy Holidays everyone.
On the twelfth day of Christmas my goddesses sent to me,
Twelve dazzling dukes,
Eleven passionate pirates,
Ten sexy seducers,
Nine romantic rakes,
Eight earnest earls,
Seven loving lords,
Six dreamy doctors,
Five golden gods,
Four ravishing rogues,
Three stunning soldiers,
Two highland hunks ,
And a romance novel written just for me!
ladydawgfan on 06 Dec 2007 at 9:56 pm #
Thank goodness I’m not too late!!
To the tune of “Oh Holy Night”
“Ode to the Frustrated Writer”
Oh Holy Cow!
My deadline’s fast approaching
My hands are numb
And my butt’s fast asleep
No beauty rest
When I work on my writing
Can’t give up now
I’m in this way too deep.
I thought the words would flow like sweet molasses
But my poor brain is stuck in second gear
My plot took a hike!
I need some inspiration!
Oh where is my Hugh, my Colin, or my Gerry.
I need my eye candy to help me find my way
Oh send my Hugh, or Colin or Gerry
Or a facsimile thereof!
ladydawgfan on 06 Dec 2007 at 10:18 pm #
To “Oh Christmas Tree”
Oh Mt Oly, Oh Mt Oly,
Your Goddesses shine brightly
Oh Mt. Oly, Oh Mt. Oly
Their writing does delight me!
And when Release Day rolls around
My Borders store is where I’m bound!
Oh Mt. Oly, Oh Mt. Oly,
My check book does despise me!!
doglady on 06 Dec 2007 at 10:38 pm #
I came home from work and read all of these at once. Now my keyboard is covered with Earl Gray and I had to go to the bathroom before I posted my feeble efforts. Ladies, you are all musical geniuses! Karen H, this was ALMOST as good an idea as FROS. ALMOST!!!!!
To the tune of Greensleeves aka What Child is This?
What blog is this where Goddesses meet
To chat with readers to their delight?
From tacky yard art to dreams and gossip
They’re always entertaining.
Murder, mayhem, romance and intrigue
Come all our Goddesses to serve them up
Our keyboards suffer from coffee spewage and
FRO Sundays make us drool.
darkshire007 on 06 Dec 2007 at 10:59 pm #
Well, here goes nothing! This is to the tune of Jingle Bells.
Dashing to the store
In my sweatpants I did run
Tackling other patrons
For a chance at the last one
It’s setting on the shelf
Just beyond my reach
I’m now beyond all patience
I think I’m going to screech!
Oh, Jordan, Dain, London
Enoch, Hawkins, Rose
We are fighting in the bookstore
For a chance to read your prose!
doglady on 06 Dec 2007 at 11:06 pm #
One more for the road. LITERALLY!!
To the tune of - Grandma Got Runned Over by a Reindeer
Karen got runned over by Hugh Jackman
Coming home from Sabrina’s Christmas Eve
You may say there’s no such thing as Goddesses
But as for me and Karen, we believe!
Rachel G drove by with Bat Boy
She was taking him to see Suzanne’s giraffe.
Hugh was giving Karen mouth to mouth
“Boy,” Rachel sighed. “That man sure as a cute +**”
They were there so long Julia thought they were yard art.
Karen Rose took kinky photos of the crime.
Nicole thought it was all a weird dream
And Claudia kept telling Karen “Hugh is MINE!”
Karen got runned over by Hugh Jackman
Coming home from Sabrina’s Christmas Eve
You may say there’s no such thing as Goddesses,
But as for all of us who read their books WE BELIEVE!!!
Gannon on 06 Dec 2007 at 11:10 pm #
OMG, Doglady! That’s hilarious!
TheNightPoet on 07 Dec 2007 at 3:00 am #
Okay, so I have been racking my brain for the last hour and a half for good, catchy lyrics and I am drawing a blank. My brain has shut down, it’s finals week next week and I haven’t been here in a few months. I can’t think of anything to write other than this….To the Tune of “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”
I saw Zeus writing a new rule
for the goddesses to abide by tonight.
He didn’t see me sneak
onto the patio of Mt. Olympiad;
He thought I was tucked away
with the goddesses stories and a picture of Channing Tatum from Karen Hawkins.
Then, he turned in my direction
and asked me to come hither.
Oh, and if I could have done his bidding,
I wonder if he would have ravished me.
But I ran away so I could tell you all that
I saw Zeus writing a new rule tonight.
PJ on 07 Dec 2007 at 6:40 am #
Karen, I don’t envy you your task. There’s no way I could choose just one person to win your ARC. Just when I’d pick a winner somebody else would post another hilarious song. (Doglady, that last one was simply inspired.)
I don’t know when I’ve laughed so hard! You ladies are awesome!
Karen Hawkins on 07 Dec 2007 at 8:36 am #
Doglady, you cracked me up, as usual!
Andrea, welcome back! Don’t be a stranger, chica! That’s an awesome poem.
I put all of the names of entries in a hat, one for each entry so if you wrote more than one, you were entered more than once and I drew a name . . .
Brenda. Can you email me at authorkarenhawkins@gmail.com? I need your snail mail address!
TheNightPoet on 07 Dec 2007 at 1:01 pm #
Thanks Karen! It feels good to be back! This semester all I did was read books for my classes. It seemed like when I would get a break, my professors would pile on more homework! Don’t you just love professors for doing that? haha Yeah right!
Next week is finals, as I said in my last post, and I will be able to get on here more often and check out all the goodies I’ve missed over the last months. I promise, I’ll not be a stranger anymore. 
Congratulations Brenda! And to all the other ladies who came up with songs, I enjoyed reading them last night! They were fun to read! I was laughing so hard.
Last night was a good night to get on after not being on here for so long.
Andrea
TheNightPoet on 07 Dec 2007 at 1:22 pm #
P.S. Karen, are you still looking for me to post a poem for you and everyone else to enjoy? I was thinking how I haven’t put one up here yet, like we had talked about. If so, I’ll probably post it after finals, if that’s okay.

I really didn’t expect to win the book, I thought it was just fun to try to come up with something really quick off the top of my head! I really, really wish that Karen could send a copy of it to everyone that entered! I do promise you that the day after I receive it, I’ll take the day off work and read it and be thinking of all that participated in the contest.
Karen, I cannot say thank you enough different ways, not only for being a great author, but also for drawing my name!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Awesome, Andrea! We have a great place for that, too, so people can respond directly to you. You haven’t been here for a while, but check out the link above that says Forum! You’re going to love it! (Though you’ll have to register even if you’re registered here on the blog — it’s easy, though!)
Can’t wait to read it!

Aw. Brenda, you’re too nice! When I win something, I gloat. I usually call Julia London and gloat to her until she tells me to hang up and not call her back. Sometimes, i drive over to Suzanne Enoch’s house with my winnings and enjoy them on her front porch so she can see me from her breakfast window. Otherwise, i just gloat here. But I do gloat.
Brenda, I hope you enjoy the book! You’ll get it by Christmas! I hope you gloat at least a little!
Julia London on 07 Dec 2007 at 4:57 pm #
Oh my God, is she gloating again?
Gannon on 07 Dec 2007 at 5:11 pm #
Congrats, Brenda! Enjoy that book. And I guess you can gloat about it to the rest of us!

Yes, Brenda, DO gloat! It is a most gloatworthy prize. BUT if you show up on MY doorstep you had better bring chocolate!!!

I can guarantee you that I’ll be gloating, the day after I read it!! I won’t give away too many details, just the facts that I have taken a day off from work just to sit and read it, possibly two or three times! Eyebrows will be raised at work when I take that day off, but this isn’t for sickness (like previously), this will be just for PURE GLUTTONY!! And doglady, there will be lots of chocolate involved!!!
Yes Julia, I do believe that Karen is gloating again, bless her heart!! Karen, if you don’t quit gloating to Julia, she may take away your pictures of Hugh Jackman!! There will be no eye-candy!! (ha ha)

NOOO! NOT THE HUGH JACKMAN PICTURES!
And here I going to ask Julia to graft me into a couple of Hugh pics for Christmas. Guess I need to stop gloating to her on the phone.
Thanks for th reality check, Brenda! I’m going to have to watch my behavior. It’s too close to Christmas to gloat!

To the tune of Joy to the World…
Joy to the world! the Goddesses have come;
Let us receive their gifts;
Let every bookshelf prepare some room,
and bloggers and authors sing,
and FRO’s and diet coke sing,
and cute boys, and Hugh and nature sing.
Joy to the earth! the Goddesses reign;
Let men their songs employ;
while stores and editors,
readers, writers and book-signings
Repeat the sarcastic joy,
Repeat the slap-dash joy,
Repeat, repeat the hilarious joy.
Goddesses rule the world with truth and grace,
and makes Mt. Oly prove
the glories of their pens,
and wonders of their talent,
and wonders of their laughter,
and wonders, wonders of Karen’s love of Hugh.
Will more than likely do some more….

Kudos to you, Kimberly W. That was great!!

Aw, Kimberly, that was MASTERFUL! Thank you! It’s in perfect meter, too. Now I’m going to be humming this all evening. Poor me!
