Holiday Fun

BAD SANTA

Christmas Eve Santa went to a party
And got drunk on wine, beer and aged
 whisky
He slept all through Christmas day
To Mrs clause's dismay
Poor kids were left crying round a bare tree...
                   
 FROSTY'S DEMISE

Frosty was in a bit of a muddle
Started melting and knew there was trouble
Santa said "It's a great shame
And climate change is to blame"
The next day poor Frosty was a puddle...

  RIP SCROOGE

Scrooge caught an elf who was taken aback
Bound his hands and then put him in a sack
Watching was Jacob Marley
And he abhorred cruelty
So he gave Scrooge a fatal heart attack...

Jennifer Proxenos February 2, 2025 at 4:38 AM Poor Frosty, and he thought at first he would last. Well even a puddly experience is a lesson in life, although he will never get the chance to have another shot at being a snowman. Congrats on your win Tom. A fun and sad write, but all three great Limericks. Blessings, Jennifer. Hope your Christmas was happy and glad.

Bj Legros Kelley December 29, 2024 at 6:46 PM Poor Frosty! I remember our family was able to build a snowman in a rare Sonoran Desert snowfall when my kids were little. As Frosty melted, our daughter was in tears. That was so sad! Tom Cunningham December 29, 2024 at 9:34 PM Oh no BJ, that must have been spectacular to see, seems climate change has been around a long time. Tom

Warmest wishes for a merry Christmas, my poet friend.. ~Susan Tom Cunningham December 20, 2024 at 1:01 PM Thank you very much Susan I'm happy you enjoyed the humour I always think of others at this time, I know Christmas for many won't be a happy one.
