The Cranberry Resort Skip-rope Rhyme

Cranberries? Or Sour Grapes

They call it the Cranberry Resort.

The Devil is a liar.

and now for today’s skip rope rhyme.

Craa-a-a-anberry

So-ur grapes

on our anniversary

we got a taste

the phone rang loudly

back in January

the Cranberry resort

was inviting my hubby

up to Collingwood

to experience the luxury

at a very special price

we could get this itinerary

I hate to retort

on this two bit ‘resort’

where they put us in the basement

in a musty encasement

the room had two beds

and sliding doors

the walls were paper thin

and so were the floors

they put us by the arcade

down from the laundromat

told us about a ‘meeting’

and that was that

Me n my hubby

Avoiding the tub-by

We wanted to relax but

the curtain was yucky

They said it was a deal

but we skipped on the meal

They would have served venison

and called it veal

(by this time the kids would be out of breath from skipping – so there’s a switch)

Skip, skip, skip, skip…

at two in morning

there was a banging

someone was locked out

and wouldn’t stop yelling

the box springs were bare

no room service here!

and the open side door

gave us a quite a scare

So early the next day

we packed right away

Skipped that meeting

and were on our way

Craa-a-a-anberry

So-ur grapes

on our anniversary

we got a taste

The Art of Snubbing

The Art of Snubbing

Anyone who paid attention in high school knew the rules to snubbing and to whom they do and do not apply, but the people who know how best to snub, are those who at some point have been on the receiving end of the snub.

Make no mistake, like war, there are no winners in snubbing but there are certain etiquette and protocol that should be adhered to if one is using this method to administer a dose of scorn to a certain other person.

My mother used to say ‘there is a time and place for everything’, which brings us to the first question ‘When to snub?’
