Charles Messina Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

That was one heck of a mucky day for Santa...lol

Oh No - Santa Got Mucked

The stars and the moon...glowing bright 
Poor Santa...had lost his eyesight 
Had a bit of bad luck 
When he stepped into muck 
Before, he took off...at midnight 

The outhouse door...swinging ajar 
His glasses, left home...on the bar 
So, the reindeer won't sleigh 
Because, he smells...that way 
So Santa, drove home...in his car
