This year Santa will not be seen Because he has Covid Nineteen Much to his chagrin Wife gets a stand in… Don Trumpty will learn his routine Poor Donald soon won’t have a job Sacked Potus – reindeer hear him sob To deliver gifts Trump must heal huge rifts As Rudolph thinks Trump is a knob!

:) Trump actually looks slim in the photo. It's hilarious to think of him as a "stand in" with Mrs. Clause. Let's try to help Santa get well so we'll see him next year! Congratulations on your placement in the contest, Jan. Have a merry Christmas! Hugs, Carolyn

Jan I was looking out for your name or poem in the P.S Anthology book. Did i miss it or did you not bother entering Jan

Jan Allison
Date: 12/7/2020 1:32:00 PM

Yeah cynical is the word but its made a lot of people happy to see their name in print i know having read your poem how happy you are and i am really happy for you:-) hugs jan xx

I hear you Jan Not so much naive . I both understand and totally get your skepticism.

Jan Allison
Date: 12/7/2020 1:13:00 PM

I didn't bother submitting Chris - many poets hainvg their work in an anthology printed just in time for Christmas - I am not naïve :-) hugs Jan xxx

Jan, Much like Premiership Football Manager's who get sacked. It's not as if they are likely going to be signing on any time soon are they. Just back to the family business day job that perversely pays even better.

Jan Allison

good point Chris:-) hugs jan xx

Interesting, as my mother always said I had an head like a doorknob, i.e., any girl could turn it! Children are scared enough about this Christmas without worrying about Trump delivering presents, but thanks for the laugh! Aloha! Rico

I don't want to see that stuck in my chimney. Maybe he can scoop reindeer poop at the end of the season. Love your work my friend.
