Carolyn Devonshire Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

A Different

Type of

Christmas

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

FJ Thomas December 22, 2020 at 8:57 AM 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! Carolyn Devonshire December 22, 2020 at 9:50 AM 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.
