Santa Forgets

Our plump Santa did search in his pouch, In the table, he searched, near the couch; He searched there, he searched here, But found not his specs dear - "On your face" said his wife in a grouch!

Sounds like the Santa that lives here. If left alone he eventually finds his hat, glasses, cell phone, and most other things and goes out the door. Thanks for your visit to my blog. I appreciate the time spent there and the prayers. Wayne is healing. Sara

Anitha, thanks so much for entering my contest. I know how hard it must be for you to do a new form. I don't think you have done limericks before , have you? You did pretty well with limerick meter and the punch line is so cute. Congrats, sweet friend and Merry Christmas

Dear Anitha, your thoughts bring a smile. :) It seems Santa is becoming forgetful. Hopefully he can remember which house to deliver those presents to. Many wonderful blessings to you. Merry Christmas, my sweet friend. :) Hugs, Brandy

This limerick did make me laugh as I could relate. Not too long ago I thought I had left my sunglasses at the doctor’s office after an eye shot. My daughter had to point out they were on my face. I couldn’t believe I did that. Best of luck if this is for a contest. Have a wonderful holiday season with your family. Blessings xxoo

hahahaha,, sounds like me... I was out shopping one day with my granddaughter, and I looked and looked in my purse for my reading glasses and she said grandma you are wearing them. I really felt stupid :) Great limerick, Anitha.. Hugs sweet friend.

A perfect Limerick, Anitha - you are a perfectionist, and you got it right. All forgetful people have problems with finding glasses, me too! Love and blessings ~ Mala

Haha... Thx Mala... No dear... mine is not at all perfect, I know. I just wanted to try writing a limerick for the first time, as the contest was interesting... Hugs... ~ Ani
