Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Chastushka

Christmas Time - Its Joys and Blues

I pray Yule have a joyous Christmas with your relations,

And that Santa will more than meet your expectations!

'Tis the Season for joy, never for feeling sad or blue;

Blues will come, dear friend, when the credit card bills are due!

Richard Lamoureux December 19, 2020 at 5:57 AM Haven’t you heard, Santa is dead? He got kicked in the head by a reindeer. Kidding aside, I think this will do well in the contest.

Glad you enjoyed the write and a Very Merry Christmas to you and yours - Bob
