This is a picture of me wearing my Beard Baubles. Julia bought them for me when she went shopping after Christmas. Then proceeded to wear me down until I put them on for the photograph. I swear I will get her back for this.
In the meantime I will allow my family their hollow victory over the Old Man.
BAH HUMBUG!
While I think you are very nice to be worn down and as bah humbuggie as you think you are..YOU posted yourself!!! There would be no way in H or God’s Green Acres that Himself would EVER allow this to happen…even if his grandson asked him! You are very sweet.
I do my best to hide it. 🙂
Excellent. I’ve encountered Julia’s sassy photos before and have always been a fan. The look on your face is priceless. Happy New Year to both of you!
Don’t encourage her! Happy New Year. 🙂
Happy New Year to you, too!
🙂
Can you play a tune if you shake your head?
There was a suspicion of sleighbells when I moved my head.

What we now know of dear Julia
Is her teasing is certainly trulia
But them baubles be cute
Even on an Old Brute
[apologies, but it seems a certain poetic form has bitten this old man… hope this doesn’t feel like piling on]
Did I mention I still have slots available on my vengeance list? You certainly seem to have embraced the clerihew! 🙂
Slots on the vengeance list… oh boy howdy!
Tell you what, forward a bauble and I’ll append it to my beard and return the photo. They say misery loves company.
And yes, the clerihew seems right in my path. Love limericks as well. Could not master the Haiku, so this silliness appears my lot.
🙂
Limericks can be a bit tricky but they are good when they work properly. I’ve always struggled with haiku, despite them seeming so simple.
The clerihew is always welcome as a beacon of silliness in a serious world, and you clearly have a talent for them.
I didn’t know whether to bow down in worship or head for the hills.
I hesitated and ended up decorated. That might be the first line of my new poem…
Oh, Quercus! What a hoot! All the way across the pond.
Ho, ho,ho…
Quercus, you need to be smiling more! Congratulations to Julia! 🙂
Bah humbug!
She should have got ones with batteries that light up. 🙂
Hmmm…
