The Ragtag Daily Prompt this morning is EVANESCENT
The primary meaning of this word, according to the Oxford Dictionary:
soon passing out of sight, memory, or existence; quickly fading or disappearing.
Which makes me think of last Christmas. Do you remember it? So this quickly composed verse shall be my response to the prompt.
The Bedazzled Shopper
Whither fled the season
of good cheer, holly and ivy,
red bows and candle glows
and don’t be a Scrooge,
spend, spend, spend!
How did the tinselled trees,
twinkling lights and
red bows vanish evanescently
in December’s puff and stuff?
A distant memory now
as to my wondering eyes appear
all these chicks, fluffy cute,
and pastel plastic eggs
pulled from their nest in
stockrooms, with the signs
Sale! Sale! Sale!

And lo! Easter eggs are in the shops. May I be the first to wish Happy Hallloween…

Ha! But no cheating…Halloween has to follow the Back-to-School-Sales which start the second week in July. Nothing said about Halloween until August 1st. 😉

None of that stuff can fade quickly enough, as far as I’m concerned.

It would be nice if the GOODWILL actually stayed. Alas! Like a boomerang, the commercial aspect of Christmas will whirl around and bonk us again by mid-September. 😉
