L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

Department Store Santa

I knew a fellow who played Santa Claus
He hated department stores just because
Kids were insightful, but
Sometimes a bit spiteful
And his snow white beard was made out of gauze.

Caren Krutsinger December 12, 2021 at 5:00 PM I wonder if any department stores do this? “Kids are insightful”- so true. L Milton Hankins December 12, 2021 at 5:26 PM I imagine they do, Caren. Sometimes parents don't come prepared for the reaction from the kids upon seeing the jolly old elf!

Gershon Wolf December 11, 2021 at 4:33 PM I think that department-store Santas have a 'no-bite clause.' Tee-hee, Elf L Milton Hankins December 11, 2021 at 6:24 PM I should hope they do. Children can be rather trying at times and they are under a lot of stress to be happy when they go to see Santa...and they don't see people like him every day, you know.

Mike Gentile December 11, 2021 at 5:56 AM And I'm sure that it itched!! Good one Milton!! L Milton Hankins December 11, 2021 at 7:58 AM I'm sure it did! Mine does and it's the real thing!
