Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Christmas 2020

the elves built a new workshop and yes there’s a but
they didn’t use one-call and their phone lines got cut
isolated up north poor Santa missed some calls
he lost the warranty on his sleigh and an order of soccer balls
he missed the call about Rona and the mandate for a mask
Santa had no P.P.E. just some schnapps in a flask
there was a global pandemic much to his surprise
he was stopped on a rooftop and could only see eyes
he was greeted by a cop in a hazmat suit
Santa was drunk without a mask and had to reroute
they took Rudolph to the Zoo and impounded his sleigh
now Santa is under quarantine for the next fourteen days

Andrea Dietrich December 19, 2020 at 6:30 PM lots of great detail in your humorous poem, Mark. BIG congrats on the big win. Mark Koplin December 20, 2020 at 3:58 AM Thank you so much Andrea!

Carolyn Devonshire December 19, 2020 at 1:51 PM After having the schnapps, Santa probably wasn't worried about PPE. You told quite a witty story, Mark, and I hope we can get Rudolph out of the zoo. Maybe the cop in the hazmat suit can help with that. Enjoyed very much! Congratulations on your placement in the contest and have a merry Christmas. Best wishes, Carolyn Mark Koplin December 20, 2020 at 3:58 AM Thank you Carolyn for the generous placement. It was a fun contest. As far as Santa and Rudolph we'll just keep our fingers crossed.

Beryl Edmonds December 10, 2020 at 5:00 PM Foolish Santa indeed, one can only hope his quarantine is over by Christmas Eve. Enjoyed the read Mark... Belle Mark Koplin December 11, 2020 at 2:13 AM Right!

Jenna Logan December 10, 2020 at 10:11 AM Baddd Santa. He'd have been better off using the Schapps to sanitize his hands! LOL at you giving the virus a personal name of Rona. Don't get any more personal with it than that. A fun write, Mark. Mark Koplin December 10, 2020 at 10:19 AM Thanks Jenna! It was fun to write.
