Here's the Holiday addition to the Boys' Poetry series, Stuff That Hasn't Been...

STILL MORE STUFF THAT HASN’T BEEN

A winter that isn't cold.

A holly branch without leaves.

A jingle bell That doesn’t ring.

A Christmas tree without a trunk.

A wreath that isn’t green.

A fireplace without a fire.

A cookie that hasn’t been baked.

An ice skate without a blade.

A snowman that can’t melt.

A santa without a sleigh.

A blizzard that doesn’t blow.

A snowball without snow.

A sled that doesn’t slide.

A snowtube without air.

A mitten without a thumb.

An ICICLE that isn’t cold.

A snowflake without a design.

A mug of hot chocolate that isn’t hot.

A snowboard without bindings.

A skier who doesn’t have skis.

A roasted marshmallow without a stick.

An igloo that isn’t made of ice.

A dog sled without dogs.

A sweater that isn’t warm.

An arctic fox without fur.

A glove that doesn’t have fingers.

A polar bear that can’t swim.

A snow angel without wings.

A snowmobile that can’t drive.

A blanket  that isn’t snuggly.

A pair of boots without soles.

A hibernating animal that isn’t asleep.
