You Better Not Pout

I told her, ‘You’d better not pout,
But Santa has left us both out;
Although it annoys:
He’s broken our toys 
And slipped on a stray Brussell sprout.’

For Andrea’s Quintain contest

Veggie tales to make us all smile. I hope Santa's litigation won't go to trial. I hear that his elves are still filling shelves. For they've noticed an imbalance as he's counting by twelves. Thanks for the limerick jack. Peace. :)
