Notes About The Poem

poem written for and submitted to "Holiday Limerick" poetry contest, Tania Kitchin, sponsor, December 13, 2025.

STORY OF NUTMEG

Squirrel named Nutmeg, full of cheer,  
Drank eggnog (his downfall, I fear).  
  Staggering with tail asway,
  He leapt onto Santa's sleigh~
"On Prancer!" he shouted—oh dear!

This is so cute, I can just see this. We have not too many squirrels around because of cats, but I love to see them. Good luck in the contest.
