Christmas Treats

Christmas came to the town of Asheville Each one asked St. Nick for a treadmill Instead, he gave them bikes Treating them all like tikes Then he told them to cycle uphill ~~~~~ Santa had to borrow a reindeer Heading out toward the wild frontier The reindeer was too slow And its blue nose didn’t glow Plus it didn’t ever go in high gear ~~~~~ The Christmas tree wasn’t quite green this year Frankly, it didn’t fill the house with cheer It was so dark and grey Even straining the sleigh All who saw it were driven to jeer Christmas Limerick Poetry Contest Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Alexis Y.
