Sleigh Passengers

Christmas finds reindeer landing on rooftops

Santa’s kindly added some extra stops

     His sleigh filled with travelers

     Scared of TSA handlers

Scoff as coal through government chimneys drops



*For Francine’s Christmas contest

They bring embarrassment with a public appearance, are thoughtless about the victim, are boundless, hence they are selfish. Also, they are without emotion some times, a manipulator such a function of theirs puts them in the "fake" bracket. I however, strongly agree that tears are extremely powerful and beautiful. Congratulations on your win in Francine's "Christmas" contest Carolyn. Love, Rinki Nandy.

I have no idea what TSA is so will have to go and look it up. If it has to do with government I would guess it is a shot at them. God Bless Phyl

well done! congratulations on your win Carolyn.......very funny............ I had to check the meaning of "TSA" on google, its not widely known outside the US.......limericks are always good laughs...sincerely Syd.............oh by the way I do not live on a farm, but I am certainly (like John Denver ) a country boy at heart
