Ho Ho Ho Nursery Rhyme

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.

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 12/20/2022 3:45:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Beryl Edmonds Date: 12/20/2022 6:09:00 PM 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

Eve Roper Date: 12/4/2022 12:48:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Beryl Edmonds Date: 12/8/2022 5:08:00 PM Eve, I would be delighted to have this poem in the book, thank you… Belle Eve Roper Date: 12/4/2022 10:35:00 PM 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.. Beryl Edmonds Date: 12/4/2022 1:25:00 PM 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
