Notes About The Poem

(Entry for the Holiday Humor - Limerick Set Poetry Contest, sponsored by Tania Kitchin, submitted November 1, 2024 - Third Place)

Holiday Limericks

Santa's reindeer were ready for Christmas,
but then Rudolph developed some stiffness.
They asked his son Robbie
to do the job and he
agreed, which was most serendipitous.

Veronica and her friend Monica
joined loved ones to celebrate Hanukkah.
They sang songs of the season
giving very good reason
for Monica to play harmonica.

Meanwhile, Madonna and her friend Tonya
went to Togo to celebrate Kwanzaa.
Upon arriving, alas,
they both inhaled some burned grass,
which authorities called marijuana.
