His Nose Glowed Bright Red

His nose glowed bright red One evening while Santa was strolling And empty wine bottle came rolling It bounced off his toe Got stuck in the snow His patience no good at controlling Then snuck up and caught Rudolph drinking He staggered about slowly sinking His nose glowed bright red It’s then Santa said “No wonder the damn thing is blinking” Written for: The Christmas Limericks (New or Old) Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Carolyn Devonshire
