No Frills For Santa

As Santa was wearing a mask,
he spilled all the wine from his flask -
he muttered and swore,
'This Covid's a bore...
I've ruined the lace on my basque.'

written 6th December for Carolyn's Santa's Covid contest

Oh my, Santa in a "lacy" basque. Makes me wonder what he may be hiding, Jack. Congrats on your win and have a very merry Christmas! Love, Carolyn

Hi Jack, Santa always has so much on his plate he doesn't know if he is coming or going and on top of all this. he spilled his flask and, he's ruined the lace on his basque! so a swear or two is allowed, n'est-ce-pas? very clever and fun poem Jack. Blessings, and hugs, Jennifer.

Good one. Enjoyed reading this one today. I don't think I have ever heard the basque before so I had to look it up. I have heard bask(to lie in the sun). Thanks for all the visits ...Sara
