Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Santa's Got Covid

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!

Carolyn Devonshire December 19, 2020 at 1:47 PM :) 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

Christopher Flaherty December 7, 2020 at 12:37 PM 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 December 7, 2020 at 1:32 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 Christopher Flaherty December 7, 2020 at 1:32 PM Something or some people are .missing Christopher Flaherty December 7, 2020 at 1:31 PM I hear you Jan Not so much naive . I both understand and totally get your skepticism. Jan Allison December 7, 2020 at 1:13 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

Christopher Flaherty December 7, 2020 at 12:35 PM 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 December 7, 2020 at 1:11 PM good point Chris:-) hugs jan xx

Mystic Rose Rose December 7, 2020 at 12:05 PM lol, your sense of humor is always fresh and spot on Jan, I pray none of us get it this Christmas, love and hugs Jan Allison December 7, 2020 at 1:11 PM Thanks Pixie, our island is deemed covid free but we cannot be complacent:-) hugs jan xx

Rico Leffanta December 7, 2020 at 9:32 AM 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 Jan Allison December 7, 2020 at 1:10 PM No way is he coming down my chimney lol lol:-) hugs jan xx

Mark Koplin December 7, 2020 at 8:00 AM 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. Jan Allison December 7, 2020 at 1:10 PM ha ha ha:-) hugs Jan xx

Regina Mcintosh December 7, 2020 at 6:37 AM Adorable, Jan. You always do so perfectly with humor. Love it. God bless you Jan Allison December 7, 2020 at 1:08 PM Thanks Regina not everyone appreciates my humour:-) hugs jan xx
