Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

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

Hugs, Carolyn Robert L. Hinshaw November 19, 2019 at 4:49 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
