Notes About The Poem

10/29/2024 for Holiday Humor- Limerick Set Poetry Contest sponsored by Tania Kitchin

Santa Comes Through

Santa's wife wasn't happy at home.
With Rudolf, on long trips she did roam.
'Ol Santa took to drinkin',
Don't know what he was thinkin'
When he showed her his dapper new comb. 

Mrs. Claus slammed shut the bedroom door.
Santa said, "what did you do that for?"
Rudolf was wearing a grin.
What Santa said was a sin
When he called his dear missus a whore.
 
Santa's reindeer all went on strike,
And his wife told him, "Take a hike".
So, he gave up the bottle,
And he pedaled full throttle,
Delivering each toy from his bike.

Lin Lane October 30, 2024 at 5:03 AM Sounds like trouble at the North Pole. I hope they've ironed out their differences by now. These are all well written, David. David Crandall October 30, 2024 at 8:29 AM Thanks Lin! I think they'll be OK. They just need a tropical vacation to get away from toy making for awhile.

Beryl Edmonds October 29, 2024 at 6:08 PM Santa’s journey took longer than ever - As he biked on through the snowy weather - Yet Santa did it - Pleased all the kiddies - But the wife, she lost it all together…. Beryl David Crandall October 29, 2024 at 8:51 PM Haha, yep, you can always depend on Santa, and maybe next year he'll reconcile with his wife.
