Holiday Limericks

	A Red-Letter Day

Staid pilgrims grew leery, Thanksgiving Day,
When men came to feast, half-covered in hay.
	"Where's Hester?" wives asked
	And elders were tasked
To march to the barn and give her an A.


	Santa Goes Truant

With trollop hand-picked and madam well-paid,
Dear Santa was truant from the parade.
	He ho-hoed, "so what?
	I'm old with a gut,
So do this perhaps just twice a decade."

I love the Scarlet Letter story. But as usual the woman paid the highest price!
