Christmas Spirit

Alexis wanted Christmas spirit
A lot of it, exceeding limit;
The liquor store was closed
Its owner indisposed
"Back in a minute" seemed implicit.


For Alexis's Christmas Limerick Contest

Thank you, Eve. To be honest liquor stores are never on my list...but a glass of red wine now and again will do me fine:) May you too experience a happy, peaceful and healthy 2021. Hugs // paul

Hopefully 'implicit' anyway. Better gone pishing than gone fishing, I guess... Congratulations on your win in the contest, Paul, and Season's Best, Gershon

Hello Paul … a liquor store closed close to Christmas can mean a big loss of profit - thanks Paul - Lindsay

Absolutely, Lindsay!! Profit has unfortunately become more important than Christmas itself! Thank you for reading and commenting, my friend. Regards // paul
