A Different

Type of

Christmas

Old Santa is minus one reindeer So he’s fitting Blitzen for headgear Seems Rudolph has fled But don’t be misled He’ll come back when Fauci says, “All clear” - - - - This Christmas will not be the same Pandemic must shoulder the blame From Comet to Cupid The deer are not stupid “On strike” has become their last name - - - - The forecast for Christmas seems dreary No snow, once again, makes me teary The Florida heat Won’t even make sleet Of hot weather, I have grown weary December 5, 2020 For Alexis Y.’s “Christmas Limerick” contest Cheer Up!

The picture is hilarious! I don't celebrate the holidays but I can see how it would be so very different for those who do. I'm in Southern Louisiana so I feel you about the heat Carolyn!

It's amazing to see funny photos online that seem to work with poems. Oh, you are definitely in an area where you have a warm climate. Still, you sometimes have snow. Christmas is "complicated" in the South. Thanks for reading, FJ.

Excellent rhyme and limericking beat, Carolyn. I do not see congrats on this, and I was expecting to!! Maybe folks are not visiting the winner list? Gotta go see if you are on it. You sure deserve to be.

Hello Carolyn. It has been quite a while since I have had an inspiration that I felt was worthy of putting on the site. You, however, have not lost anything. This is a truly inspired write from a gifted writer. There is nothing to say except keep it up and have a Great Holiday! Christmas Hugs! - Long Lost Dan

Cleverly articulated, fun read Carolyn. I like the credit you gave to Dr. Fauci. It's truly different this year, but signs are there it shall pass when people are vaccinated. Enjoy the warmth in Florida--stay safe my friend.
