Santa - Stop Yer Boozin'

For months Santa tossed back barrels of brews

   He was so fat he got stuck in the flues

      Ms Santa warned he might croak

         Choking on billowing smoke

            And to lay off his gross guzzling of booze

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 11/19/2019 12:34:00 PM Oh, Santa better watch what he consumes or he might get stuck in the flue. A charming limerick, Bob, and very cute! Best wishes in Tania's contest. Hugs, Carolyn Login to Reply Robert L. Hinshaw Date: 11/19/2019 4:49:00 PM Thank you, Carolyn, for your kind comment re my foolishness! Just hope kids don't read this one since it might spoil their perspective about dear old Santa. Enjoy the FL weather - more snow predicted here in the Rockies the next few days! Bob
