Fred

I walked by a snowman named Fred

  Who stood on his twigs and his head

    He hid both his stalks

      With poorly-matched socks

        And showed off his snowballs instead.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 12/2/2018 11:31:00 AM Gregory, I didn't even need to see the photo to appreciate the great humor in your poem. Congrats on a first-place win. Bawdy humor at its best! Send me a Soup mail with your address so I can send the prize to you. Login to Reply Gregory Richard Barden Date: 12/6/2018 3:39:00 AM I am so happy that you liked my little Limerick, Carolyn ... I haven't written many, nor diverted into the humorous genre a great deal, but it's a LOT of fun, and it was a joy to make others laugh, though I must give the credit to Fred himself, (who is quite happy to be back in winter again!) ... he loves to make folks laugh, too, and spends most of his time on his head for just that reason. ;-) Blessings, and thank you SO much for the honor! Happy Holidays to you and yours! :-) <3
