L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

Missus Claus's Fear

Santa Claus departs with his wife in fear
Not occasionally, but every year,
That he’ll slip and fall
And breaking his jaw,
Put himself out of commission, Oh dear!

Robert Gorelick December 1, 2022 at 6:05 PM Glass jaw, good thing he didn't chose boxing as a profession! L Milton Hankins December 1, 2022 at 8:12 PM Hmmm...I'm not sure who is (and who isn't) getting the double entendre in this one.

Caren Krutsinger November 28, 2022 at 11:32 AM This would be horrible, 'tis true! L Milton Hankins November 28, 2022 at 12:27 PM Well, I'd say the old fellow isn't accident prone. He's been making these trips for a long time, and he's still in one piece, as far as I know!

Miranda Hawley November 28, 2022 at 10:54 AM She should join the "worried about your husband's anonymous" wife club. I promise I would be in that club because my husband is a trucker. In fact I bet all the wives who have husband's with worry some jobs would rally about to support her! Or vent! L Milton Hankins November 28, 2022 at 12:26 PM I'd say so, Miranda.

Line Gauthier November 27, 2022 at 4:32 PM Rightfullly so, Santa getting up in age now ~ L Milton Hankins November 27, 2022 at 7:00 PM I'd say! The old man isn't what he used to be!

Terry Flood November 27, 2022 at 3:48 PM Just so long as he delivers my pressies beforehand. Otherwise I might break his jaw for him. Happy Christmas Santa ;-) L Milton Hankins November 27, 2022 at 7:00 PM Well, that's sort of how I feel nowadays, Terry.

Robert L. Hinshaw November 27, 2022 at 3:38 PM Milton, I love great lims and this is a GREAT one! Best of luck for the contest! Bob H L Milton Hankins November 27, 2022 at 7:01 PM Thanks, Bob. I hope it gets a little notice, anyway. I've read some really good ones!

Tom Cunningham November 27, 2022 at 1:57 PM Lol, he's got a year to get well again, should wear snow chains on his boots.. Good luck in the contest. Tom L Milton Hankins November 27, 2022 at 2:11 PM Thanks, Tom. I'm supposing he probably does, particularly in the northern parts of the world! (chuckling)
