Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa and his helper elves stacked the sleigh With presents for children on Christmas Day Soon off they would ride Through wintery skies Jingling bells and Ho! Ho! Ho! all the way. Rudolph leads the way, he's head of the herd His shiny nose lights the way undisturbed He's happy and proud To ride through the clouds Bellowing Ho! Ho! Ho! whenever stirred. Santa Claus sits at the back of the sleigh Keeping gifts in his sack safe on the way He has lots of toys For all girls and boys A big Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa has to say. Singing Christmas Carols all journey through As Jesus is the gift for me and you The night casts a spell O’er earth all is well And there’s Ho! Ho! Ho! from Santa and crew. When Santa's work is done then there is fun As Christmas celebrations are begun Fairies and elves dance And the reindeer prance Ho! Ho!Ho! another year's task finespun. *+* 3rd December 2022 Children’s Limericks Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Eve Roper

Wow belle i have only just read your poem, do we read each others mind from across the pond, our poems are so similar, maybe we are related and we don't even know. We have done this on two previous occasions as well. I got POTD for it today. Really crazy! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Hugs and blessings

Thank you Jennifer, I believe we do read each others minds, it’s so incredibly strange how we’ve written similar poems before we’ve read each others postings. I’m truly delighted that you have received poem of the day with your Christmas poem, it’s wonderful and so deserving of the honour. Blessings and hugs, Belle

Congratulations on your win, Belle. I love the poem, but I took away from it because of the last sentence of the first stanza didn't Rhyme . You should had scored higher. Many blessings my friend

Eve, I would be delighted to have this poem in the book, thank you… Belle

I like the new, but If you let me use it for the book , it was perfect. The reader is not going to know it was suppose to be a limerick . I just didn't want the other poets to read it, then say you had it wrong . but place her anyway..

Eve, thank you for the honourable mention, I see now where I went wrong, putting it down to writing in the night, my excuse anyway. Though it’s too late for your contest I will put it right for my own satisfaction. Blessings dear friend…Belle

Thank you Silent One I’m still posting I find it therapeutic, have had a dreadful twelve months my husband had sepsis and spent three months in hospital and is still recovering. On top of that I’ve recently had a spell in hospital with COVID pneumonia… Belle
