Rudolph Rumor

Rudolph, again, got to pull Santa’s sleigh
Dasher and Dancer vowed he was gay,
Prancer and Vixen, they knew for sure --
That jealousy rumor was pure manure.

Thanks, Paula. Thanks so much for your concern and your note. I have been on a two-week tour of the southern U.S. visiting family and friends. I did sign into PS a few times, but I don't enjoy doing so with my cell phone. I am home, as of an hour ago, and you will begin to see me posting poems, commenting, and responding to comments right away. Again, thanks for your concern. Your Kentucky Friend, Milt

I think your humorous poem is VERY good, Milt. big congrats. I am so mad at myself. I finally did your resolutions idea but the 5th apparently means right at midnight I woke up to post the poem and your contest had vanished. Guess i will save my poem for in case another contest asks for a similar idea!!!

Thanks, Delice. I was just trying to come up with some four-liner funny poems for the contest. I think I wrote two of them and submitted this one, I think.
