Even as grass and roots electioneered for its drive to see area’s community continue to live in states both fine and free, the campaign faced a belligerent battle of bias from those who saw foresting fear as a way to sow doubt into those who shared faith in the gallant tidings of their giving tree. ; )

Upon receiving a peer

From a most wide-eyed dear deer

Located, by chance, quite near,

As attempts had been to steer,

I offered it no just fear

After out-shifting the gear,

So it would acutely hear

Hand giving treat bag a tear

Of snacks made solely for where

Tongue takes spargefaction’s cheer. ; )

If a reindeer meets a rosarian, they will pass on a sniff for a whole bite—not to be pointedly contrarian, but because they nosh all that is not white. ; )

“Oh, what lucky dogs are we!” cheered Snoopy.

“I thought we were being sent to the doghouse,” chimed Genevieve.

“Well, this auberge looks like a place more amenable to stays than to sits,” added Snoopy.

“Let us, then, ensure we paws for thanks by wiping the welcome mat before our next people pat,” reminded Genevieve. ; )

Amid today’s time of light,

Ghastful shadow seeks a bite

From sea soup’s savory sight

Of fancy fish sans a fight. ; )
