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 Entry for Tania Kitchin's "Holiday Themed Limerick Poetry" Contest (18 November 2019) Placed No. 2 in the contest

G'Day Lindsay: Good plan, Lindsay since he will stop in your neighborhood before he gets to Colorado. We don't want a sozzled Santa soaring around here!!! Press on, Mate - Bob

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

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
