The Final Fly By

Clyde stood 'neath the mistletoe coy and shy, Itching for a kiss from gals passing by. Behind their hands they tittered, As by him they all skittered! Seems the zipper was undone on his fly! Entry for Carolyn Devonshire's "Christmas Limerick" Contest

Ah, right near the top where you belong, Bob. My heart goes out to Clyde, who never got that kiss. Congratulations on a second-place win, my friend. Competition for this contest was amazing and yours was among the poems that stood out as outrageously humorous. Thanks for the laughs - Carolyn

G'day Bob … very good reason for him to play the role of Rudolph in a Santa Christmas play, although his red nose would not stand out from his red face - I got a good chuckle Bob - Lindsay
