Down And Out For Christmas!
73
Pray For A New Beginning
Try to ensure,
For just a simple toy,
All the year around,
For every girl and boy.
Pray for a New Beginning,
And what may come to light,
But remember on the battle-field,
There's seldom a silent night.
Tend to the meek and weak.
Warm their bodies and their souls.
Go ahead and make a toast,
And let the good times roll.
But try to raise your brother up,
Before the good times pass.
Try to make it possible,
For all to raise a glass.
Micky
Down And Out For Christmas
It’s beginning to look like Christmas.
It’s the happiest time of year.
It’s a time of joy for everyone.
There’s a smile from ear to ear.
There’s a smile covering,
Every grimace on every face.
How I wish I could join them,
But I think I’ve lost my place.
I have often pondered,
How I’d spend this special day.
For I’ve had a growing testicle,
That keeps getting in the way.
My doctor says it’s Christmas Time,
For this over sized testicle to go.
And it appears that this testicle,
Will never cease to grow.
I’m getting it downsized for Christmas,
And Lord I hope it heals.
In the meantime I’ve been tempted,
To buy “it” a set of wheels.
I thought of maybe wearing a sling,
Or putting it in a pack.
But I’ve been a bit concerned,
That it could break this Grinch's back.
Most people look so happy,
With broad smiles from ears to ears.
But, I’ve had to make an athletic supporter,
Out of two different sized brassieres.
One size cup is a 16 A,
The other is a 42 D.
I have to fish around a lot,
Whenever I want to pee.
I will readily confess,
My Yule log is but a twig,
But that one testy testicle,
Is excruciatingly big.
The “Crown Jewel” is too bulky,
And heavy to carry around.
So I’ll be getting a new snow globe,
When Santa comes to town.
There may be discomfort,
But it needs to happen soon.
For no-one needs a testicle,
That can be seen from the moon.
It’s during this festive occasion,
When so many join in celebration,
That my number came up,
To have this testicular operation.
I apologize for the TMI,
And in so many rhymes.
But I decided to lop the pair of them off,
And install a set of chimes.
Perhaps if things work out,
I can run and jump around.
Instead of having my ornament,
Dragging on the frozen ground.
Instead of having a beach ball
That continuously forever swells,
Every Christmas from now on,
I would have my own Jingle bells.
So put some holly on my Wally,
And hang some mistletoe,
Take a little ribbon,
And tie a little bow.
I’ll walk bowlegged into Christmas,
And folks will laugh as I turn and leave.
I guess I’ll be down and out for Christmas,
But I may be erect for New Years Eve.

Testing Testicles Batman! The State of the Onion! With The Squirrel Nut Zippers!
This hub was written months ago and explains the "problem".
But the problem has grown.
My BrotherMan 50 Caliber and I wrote a couple poems together through some emails - so - this was - in part - inspired by my Brother Vet 50 Caliber.

This is just great Brother Micky! It gave me a good old warming chuckle indeed and as always adorned beautifully but this time with brilliant tongue-in-cheek humour! lol Loved it and did a little Micky tab-tap! Something you've taught me very well - Love you man!
Keep spreading the joy and laughter and God bless you!
You, my brother, are the funniest dude on H.P., this whole thing is insane. Justin and I love you man! Peace!! Tom and Justin
Damn Those Squirrels Trying to Bite Ya Nuts Like That!! A belated gathering before the snow?? Or were you merely baiting them?? Bugger... I hope ya get back into the swing again soon MD.. Love this hub.. you write best in pain!!
Great poem, my uncle. I see the spirit of Christmas in this hub. I know Christmas is coming fast. I hope the world more peaceful. I love your cartoon pictures and the song from the video also great and beautiful. I give my Vote to you, my uncle. I hope you always healthy...amen. God bless you.
Your nephew, Prasetio
I know of a few "good men" who should grow some testicles and be half as brave as you and your brother 50 Caliber is.
It is just wishful thinking in my part and it will never happen, but it is on my Christmas list nevertheless.
OMG this is SO FUNNY!!!! I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Thanks for that. :) You take care, "Micky Dee."
Hopefully your surgery will end the need for that bra size! Funny bit but wishing you swift healing and happy biking. That is certainly a great collection of political cartoons! Take care, Micky!
Wow, what a fun surprise this hub turned out to be. Very funny, Micky-man. I dedicate this ditty to you:
If you're going to do reconstruction,
Think first about the outcome there, my son.
Make both your testicles much, much smaller,
The rest will look larger by comparison. :)
Loved it my friend! GOD BLESS YOU & YOURS ALWAYS...
Happy Holidays....PURE LOVE,
Lisa
How appropriate, love the 'your chimney is too small' and the 'moved into our car' cartoons especially. May God bless all throughout the year and not just at Christmas. Great hub!
Micky - Damn those squarrels for burrying there nuts, hope you get yours in a Brand new sack, God Bless Brother Man Peace and Well wishes
After reading 50 Caliber's praise of you, I decided to come for a visit. I was not disappointed! I love your humor and the cartoons!
yo yo, lovely Michael, You made me smile and you made me laugh, I am so glad that all that will be done and over with by the new year. A fresh and better start with blessings for such a dear dear soul such as you. I smiled, laughed and danced on the buttons and voted high into the sky. Tons of love your way on this new year with great joy your way.
and that drbj was so funny. :D hugs :D
and oh my my. look at ole Dusty with that poetry! Did he say he was no poet? Lie! :D hugs "D
excellent! Except for the actual surgery part! I was pondering the removal of my breast (in '06)and then I saw some conjoined twins on Oprah. They were 2 when they each lost a hip and leg, but they came crawling out with big smiles on their faces! I figured if they could lose that much and be happy, then I could lose a breast. So on Valentine's Day (the day of LOVE and romance!) I lost a major part of my womanhood. I knew that if years went by and I regretted having the surgery, I'd still be o.K., but if years went by and I found I regretted NOT having the surgery, then I would surely be in a tough place. I survived without a minute of grief and you can, too! Determine in your mind, it's what you need and what you want and you'll be good. I'll be praying for you! love you!!
Hey Micky,that was a great poem,I don't know whether it for real or just a great joke,but I will keep you in my prayers just in case. Love ya MD. Godspeed. creativeone59
This is a very funny hub... great poetry... great caricatures. Because I’ve recognized between the lines seriousness and great concern, neatly covered with Micky-Dee-humor, I quickly ran over to read Testing Testicles Batman! The State of the Onion! With The Squirrel Nut Zippers! Mickey, you are amazing... always cheerful and positive.... and funny... Not this or that or even it will break your strong spirit. You will be in my prayers, and you know God will always bless you with all you need to be Micky Dee. A big bag of hugs from me to you.
Wow Micky! A great collection of cartoons and a wonderful poem. Guess the cycling will have to be put on hold for a while, but I'm glad to read that's you'll be "erect" again for the New Year! All the best my brotherman and thinking of you.
Love and peace
Tony
MERRY CHRISTMAS and MAY GOD BLESS YOU Micky. Enjoyed the Hub.
Mickey Dee: Love the poetry Bro! a nice reminder that indeed "We are our brother's keeper." Unless we are politicians!
Bro Dave
What balls...this is the best of the best. It so well describes our national disgrace with laughter. Yes, "for no one needs a testicle that can be seen from the moon". I am saluting you with my own private standing ovation. The best irreverent truth I've seen.
The poem was hilarious and the cartoons had me laughing just as hard. I love how you put a miserable truth out here in such a way that I can find humor in it.
Brilliant how you don´t take yourself too seriously even when it´s a serious problem.
l hope you have good doctor to sort you out A:S:A:P.
Great hub. You never fail. Take care, Dim xx
I can't stop laughing.This is hilariouely funny.The cartoons are the best and all so true.I hope you get along good with that support.They should 'erect' a statue of you and engrave your name with the quote," A great poet" because you are.This is one of your best.God bless.
Love and Peace
LMAO A very good humour with the truth. Enjoyed the rhymes and the pictures :) Bless ya Mik!
Very funny poem. Glad I'm not a man!
...that was a really, really good hub....
My dear Micky you did it again, this is what it has become all about, the problems in the world has ran over our joy, or charity and or very survival. I love this hub Mic and also love you, your heart is big and that is the true reason you can fit down that tight space anymore. ho ho ho...love & peace darski
Will say a prayer for you and the surgeon on the 17th. God bless you!
Its better to laugh than cry. Go in there with that attitude and you'll come out fine.
Great cartoons :)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year :)
So wonderfully creative and accurate! Love it! We all need to laugh more when we realize how insane it is out there. Keep us in stitches. Peace.
Hi Micky I cannot laugh because I am the sort to worry about people, I hope you will be feeling better by Christmas. I have heard in the past that cyclists suffer from problems even though now the design of bike seats has improved. I hope you are back to write us more of your clever and witty poetry as soon as possible. With regards.
Christmas is really coming. This serve as inspiration :)
Merry Merry Merry Christ-mas Micky. You always warm my heart and bring a smile to my face. Nice tribute by Rich there too, you deserve it brother. I'm thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers as always. Love ya man
hey friend, love the cartoons. Glad to see you are taking care of business too. If you need a nursemaid, I'm available.Frank and Bud send their best. Loveyou.
Where to begin? I love the cartoons! They are all awesome. I'm going to try and print them and send them to my mother!~
I didn't realize that you were writing also about a physical issue. I'm sorry, MD. I read this as a political satire. I hope your favorite pasttime on your bicycle isn't the instigator. Take care of yourself, Micky Dee.
My eyes went misty, could it be because I'm sad about your "burden" or because you are too funny? Micky, I can tell by the length of your post that you are just making your burden light. This is a healing hub, I tell you! Haha! And besides, this poem is a work loaded of sufferings and of perseverance. I love the cartoons.
Seriously, I'll pray for your successful date with your doctor. Take care Micky!
Made me laugh...some of your cartoons, but feel bad for your pain. : ( Hope all is well by New Years! :D
I enjoyed reading your article and the cartoons were thought provoking too. Good article
Thank you for a laugh today. Glad I stopped by to see you! Bless you Micky...Tammy
Hey, I've got one ball that's been all swelled up for a month or two. Haven't seen a doctor. I keep hoping it will go away.
Your poem is excellent! Your peotic skills are in full bloom.
Of course, I don't agree with some parts of your message. Your profile page says Jesus was a Communist, which is not true. Jesus told you and me to feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit those in prison and hospitals; AND tell them the Good News. He never told us to give our money to Caesar and let Caesar do these jobs for us, because Caesar is corrupt and more important: Caesar will not tell the needy the Good News—which they need even more so. This is commonly misunderstood by lefties. Communism has no room for God whatsoever. All Communists regimes have been officially Atheist because in Marxism God is an obstacle that must be removed for the State to have maximum power to do the job for the job that you and me and supposed to be doing. :D
Your poem is complete, all there is know about why, how and how come, why not. One just simply struck me, that testi --- LOL.. I hope you have a Christmas which you will be happiest. I wish you to be very very happy, Let us all have a Ch Brown Christmas. Maita
Christmas is around the corner,as long as we can celebrate the festival in good health,you poem looks almost complete for everyone!
REALLY enjoyed this!! The comics were hilarious, as was your poem! :)
Pardon this interruption...but I just had to say...ya' got some "king-sized" balls for writing this one...I must say. Merry Christmas...Hope you have a ball (deflated)! If it can been seen by the moon...that's bad...If it starts moving the tide...that is even worse!
Look...It's E.T.! E.T. = Extra Testicle...ha! "Hey Doc...How'd the procedure go," He said with a high shrill...ha! At least if you were back in the Corp...and they told you to stand up straight...Balls to the Proverbial Wall...you'd have it made...in that respect. Juz' funning w/ ya' MD...Always enjoy your peculiar wit and humor...I didn't know at what point to laugh at the unusual problem you were having (that juz' keeps hanging around...) or to scream in pain from juz' hearin' terms like: "beachball" and "forever swells". Ow...Hope the procedure goes well. I'll say a prayer for good healing...juz' as soon as I can figure out the best way to get the prayer said. At least you can say for now...that you are very "well-rounded". Mu-Ha-Ha...Ok...no more jokes...I'll stop now.
Now that is telling it like it is!!!!!!!!!!Write On, Mr. MIckey Dee. Tis the season to be jolly fa la la la la, la la la la. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle allll the way. You said, let's all sing a carol. Now come on Mickey, I can't hear you.
Bizarre and hilarious -- your standard MO. Love the cartoons too. Happy Holidays bike riding dude.
Hi, Micky, Oh you poor thing! ha ha sorry I am not laughing, well, I am, but with you, not at you! what a great poem, and I hope that you sort out your little problem! well, big.....! cheers nell
What a nut! This is a masterpiece...loved it Micky! :)
Awww nuts your sacks a bit overloaded. You need a Christmas babe to give it a couple of test tickles and then lose some wieght after the holidays. It's tough to go from stereo to mono, but if it's bad it's gotta go. My heart goes out to ya, Mickey. Known a few guys who lost one though and they are doing fine, got a prthesis and the gals haven't got a clue. i love that first poem, it would make a great song, if you wrote it you should let me do a collaboration on it ...add a few verses and post it as a song on some of my song sites. let me know and happy holidays with either one or two christmas balls. ~~~LOL~~~MFB III
A true piece of genius Mickey. Blending outstanding humor with your up-coming surgery in a way that only you could do. How I admire you - in so many ways. You had me laughing and crying at the same time. You are in my prayers Mickey. Here's a big hug for you!
Awesome post brother, God bless ya!
All I got to add...is that it is great that you can keep up a sense of humor and a great attitude about the whole thing! Be Blessed, MD
Oh Micky you are my new hero....you really put a certain person in their place..you know the one that needs to grow a pair. Oh yea and the poem was right on. Peace.
....when you have the pleasure and the privilege of knowing Micky Sir for 365 days of the year then you are having Christmas everyday - and this man writes excellent poetry too - I know because I learn from him and study his effortless style which makes him who he is - a hub legend and a great friend!
"Pray for a New Beginning,
And what may come to light,
But remember on the battle-field,
There's seldom a silent night."
This line in your poem reminded me of our soldiers who are still in war. I wonder how they and their families felt during this Christmas season. It's quite a big sacrifice on their part. I just hope and pray for their safety.
This is another beautiful poetry. I like your photos and video, too. Advance Merry Christmas! God bless you and your family.
Oh what a hoot. Brilliant poem and hilarious cartoons. You are awesome Micky.
LMFAO Micky Dee! Facetiously superb, as usual. Ahh it's so nice to come back and find that you've remained priceless! Just the happy present I needed for Christmas. Love ya Micky (and missed you lots too). Happy Holidays dear friend...
callmefoxxy, my pen is a mighty sword!
You give a whole new meaning to multi-tasking!
My deepest sympathy for you and your condition Micky Dee, but I'm with James politically. Although I have to agree that we need to get the lawyers out of politics and out of executive boardrooms too. They belong in the court room! If it were up to me.....which theoretically it is..... 90% of government would be eliminated....and all the court rooms too. Vote for kimh039 in 2012.... and Micky Dee for secretary of transportation and war. Happy holidays, Micky.
Wow, Micky. You have some strong feelings about all this. I don't typically comment on politics or religion, for just that reason. I am entitled to my opinions, but I find that when I express them, I am subjected to insults. It's not necessary. It is quite possible to agree to disagree, and have an intelligent discussion without all the ranting that goes on. I look for the kernels of truth in others' opinions. For example, it does seem unfair that so few have so much and so many have little. However, life is unfair, so that's exactly as it should be. If there were a law that says life has to always be fair for everyone, then I would be outraged. Just because someone has a bigger piece of the pie than I have, doesn't mean I'm entitled to it. On the other hand, if you were to write a hub that presented some facts about wealth distribution, how that distribution came to be, and some suggestions about real action steps that I can take to help resolve the perceived problem, I could work with that. I don't believe it is the proper role of government to provide for people or to over regulate. That is why I would reduce the size of the government. The small part of government left could spend an efficient amount of time investigating wealth distribution and identify what steps if any need to be taken to correct any real problems identified in how wealth is distributed without interfering with a citizen's right to pursue wealth using legal and ethical means and with a mind toward the constitution that is based on freedom and equality for all, and does not support the notion of a ruling class of royalty who are privileged by virtue of their birth into a royal family rather than by their own efforts and contributions. By focusing on areas of agreement and agreeing to disagree, we can get to some much needed solutions. Insults and name calling hinder this process. Let's get past it. kimh039 in 2012!
Some good points. See ya Micky.
Kimh038- Nobody is saying that life has to be fair, but maybe our government should put their hand back over their heart and start practicing the line, "WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL"!
Love the poem! My side kind of hurts from laughing. lol
hahaha for the poem. Tell me how those jingle bells work out! Isn't that a little like "belling the cat".
Great counter-story in the pictures! I love the Grinch one at the end! :D
A very funny hub.

Christmas sans Christ, the greedy and covetousness Grow! I'll pass, the loudest gas!
Reaching and grabbing most folks go,
Jabbing each other with a sharp elbow,
Cleaning off the shelves,
All for them selves,
Good will toward men?,
Back it up try to sell me again,
Ouch, you punched me on the chin,
Over the last teddy bear, they’ll stock again!
Mine was meant for an orphan kid,
Any idea what you just did?,
You grabbed it from me,
Then ran down the isle with glee,
Looking over your shoulder in victory,
Lord knows exactly what you done to me,
You know not what you done to him I’ll pray,
You’ll be explaining it on judgment day.
Peace, Scrooge, 50
