Late One Night On Christmas Eve

Late one night on Christmas Eve

I stood out all night in the snow
Half frozen, above and below
Just hoping to hear
The sound of reindeer
When suddenly I had to go

My fingers were numb from the chill
They fumbled my zipper, but still
It moved down a bit
Enough just to fit
No matter, it had to fulfill

I made sure no one was around
A secluded spot I had found
I pulled it out slow
Then started the flow
But nothing appeared on the ground

It just didn’t go as was planned
What then did I hold in my hand
Embarrassment swelled
My shirt tail I held
And sadly I now understand

Then sleigh bells about me did ring
A fat jolly elf they would bring
And to my regret
My pants were all wet
It was an embarrassing thing

When sure enough they did advance
Eight reindeer before me did prance
They looked down to see
Then chuckled in glee
Look, that guy just peed in his pants

Oops! At least the reindeer know they won't get the blame...cold does that to the bladder. Great and funny Limerick.

Oh my, Chris! For the love of reindeer, I would hate to see this happen to anyone. Still, it gave me a great naughty laugh and I am so delighted you are going for limericks too. They're so much fun to write. (Is this for Nina's contest? It would make a great entry.) And thanks for getting the exact meaning of the poem about the perfect painting. Sending wishes for holiday cheer, Carolyn
