Terry Flood Poet Limerick

Rein Drops

Rein Drops

The reindeer were pulling for Santa
They struggled to get past a canter
He said they were flying
Like ducks that were dying
But that was just lighthearted banter

But what Santa wasn’t to know
Was Rudolph was gasping to go
His guts started grumbling
Then, excrement tumbling
He pebble-dashed Ontario



1 December 2018
For Carolyn Devonshire’s
Christmas Limerick contest

Carolyn Devonshire December 2, 2018 at 11:39 AM Terry, I was rolling with laughter when I read this! Congrats on a second-place win! While reading this, I had visions of the mess Rudolph left over Ontario. Competition for this contest was amazing and yours was among the poems that stood out as outrageously humorous. Thanks for the laughs - Carolyn Carolyn Devonshire December 2, 2018 at 1:24 PM Big laughs. More than a giggle. Terry Flood December 2, 2018 at 1:22 PM Thankyou Carolyn, glad it gave you a giggle.

Andrew Fairchild November 30, 2018 at 9:52 PM Terribly FUNNY! Terry Flood December 1, 2018 at 1:40 PM You know the expression, ‘Don’t look down’... in Ontario, they now say ‘Don’t look UP!’ Thanks for responding Andrew

Lindsay Laurie November 30, 2018 at 8:38 PM G'day Terry … at least Ontario gardens are fertilized. Poor old Santa is copping plenty this year. He could end up with versico (sic!) - thanks Terry - Lindsay Terry Flood December 1, 2018 at 1:43 PM I think Santa’s gonna need a hard hat if he’s to survive Christmas on Soup

Susan Zinn November 30, 2018 at 7:29 PM I liked the poem. Perfect for the season. Keep it up. Terry Flood November 30, 2018 at 7:59 PM Thanks Susan. Not too distasteful, I hope.
