When the original Only Yules & Verses book was self-published in 2013, an unsolicited comment appeared on Amazon. I call stuff like this little nudges of encouragement. Of course, for every flattering nudge, there are several pokes in the eye waiting in the wings. Here’s the comment:
“Only Yules and Verses is one of those special little books that you happen upon serendipitously. I have read authors' blurbs before extolling the mirth to be found in THEIR book only to buy the book and be severely disappointed. What an unexpected joy, therefore, to pick up this little gem and read it to the end with smiles, a few laughs out loud and some headshakes at the ingenuity of Joe Cushnan. I thoroughly enjoyed this and wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone.
P.S. I am not a friend or family member of the author, but how I wish I were!”
CHRISTMAS PAIRS
Christmas and merry,
Holly and berry,
Bells and tinkles,
Glitter and sprinkles,
Ginger and bread,
White and red,
Carols and choirs,
Logs and fires,
Scarf and glove,
Hugs and love,
Sugar and spice,
Snow and ice,
Candles and flames,
Fun and games,
Ribbons and bows,
Glimmers and glows,
Reindeer and sleigh,
Jolly and gay,
Food and drink
Glasses and clink,
And the most important still,
Peace and goodwill.
