Notes About The Poem

Bad News Kids

Santa fell off the roof and broke his back
And on his head fell a large heavy sack
The shock of it was too great 
And Santa met with his fate
Cos'  he died from a fatal heart attack.

All over the world the good girls and boys
Will rush downstairs , but alas no surprise 
The children will shed a tear
Because no presents this year
They'll just have to make do with last year's toys.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/29/2022 12:49:00 PM I like this. I wrote about Santa not delivering toys because he got too drunk driving his sleigh and someone commented limericks are supposed to be funny, not sad. Good grief.

Jenna Logan Date: 11/29/2022 4:58:00 AM Your last Santa limerick butt cracked me up and now you killed him? Does that mean we shouldn't bash him anymore in limericks? Nah... we've still lots of days to write about him. If he can circle the world in one night, he must have connections to hook him up with another life.
