This poem was inspired by a true event.  A friend of  mine~~a fine Christian little old lady in every respect~~ bought some tea for her grandchildren.

She innocently got hard tea; she apparently did not read the label. One of the kids guzzled a large amount of it before anyone realized what was going on!
 
                        ***********************************************
Poor Santa! His plans went awry near Christmas, I say with a sigh. You ask, “What went wrong?” The story’s not long. Now here’s just what happened and why. With Rudolph, he shared tea one night. Then Frosty joined in. What a sight~~ three icons, all smashed. Would Christmas be dashed because Santa wasn’t too bright? Those labels, we must always read. Hard tea, they’d all guzzled with speed. Cold showers ensued and joe freshly brewed. From brain fog, our heroes were freed!

Hi Janice.A great fun read. Now I know why Rudolph's nose is red! :) I had to look up what hard tea is. I've never heard the term before. I now believe it's iced tea flavoured with alcohol such as rum / tequilla or vodka etc. Hard (or Twisted) tea is not available here in the UK probably costing too much to import / sell here. Poetry Soup opens my eyes to all things :) I digress. LOL! I enjoyed the read..Cheers - Gary
