Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

The Chimney That Kris Missed

The kids were all ready for Christmas
While under the tree sat their wish lists--
    Heard a big rumble
    From a big tumble-- 
Seems it was the chimney that Kris missed

They ran out to see the commotion
Witnessed Santa downing a potion-- 
   Their eyes grew so wide
   That in came the tide--
Their gifts floated in on the ocean!

Carolyn Devonshire December 2, 2018 at 11:50 AM LOL I could just see this happening, Gershon. Just imagine a tipsy Santa trying to explain to children why their gifts were "floating" instead of laying underneath their trees. Congratulations on your placement. Competition for this contest was awesome and you did a great job. Thanks for supporting the contest with you witty verse.

Chris Green November 28, 2018 at 4:11 PM It sounds like he missed it big time. Ha, this was funny my friend. Best of luck in the contest. Gershon Wolf November 29, 2018 at 10:14 AM He certainly did... That potion he was taking might just have been medicine for his bump on his noggin'! ~ Gershon
