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!

Caren Krutsinger Date: 11/28/2022 11:32:00 AM This would be horrible, 'tis true! Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 11/28/2022 12:27:00 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 Date: 11/28/2022 10:54:00 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! Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 11/28/2022 12:26:00 PM I'd say so, Miranda.

Terry Flood Date: 11/27/2022 3:48:00 PM Just so long as he delivers my pressies beforehand. Otherwise I might break his jaw for him. Happy Christmas Santa ;-) Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 11/27/2022 7:00:00 PM Well, that's sort of how I feel nowadays, Terry.

Tom Cunningham Date: 11/27/2022 1:57:00 PM Lol, he's got a year to get well again, should wear snow chains on his boots.. Good luck in the contest. Tom Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 11/27/2022 2:11:00 PM Thanks, Tom. I'm supposing he probably does, particularly in the northern parts of the world! (chuckling)
