I seem to have a theme going on here… if it isn’t dancing, it’s gators….. so why not dancing gators!

Poem In Your Pocket ~ Fairy Mary
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.
