I once heard of a reindeer named Prancer Loved a doe, and he tried to romance her But because of her scorn From the size of his horn He would always be short ... of her answer. ~ 3rd Place ~ in the "Funny Reindeer Limerick" Poetry Contest, Tania Kitchin, Judge & Sponsor.

:) Love this one, Gregory. And the title! Titles seem to be given too little attention, but their cleverness can set the mood for the entire verse. Congratulations on your win! Best wishes, Carolyn

Thank you so much, Carolyn, and thank you for mentioning the title - I try to put as much thought into that as the rest of the piece, and it's nice that someone actually notices ... blessings, Dear Poet! :-) <3 (I will send you a soupie soon!)
