Notes About The Poem

You'D Better Not Pout

I tell you, girl, it’s better not to pout
Some tasty treats I have for you in store
I'm Santa's helper with a member stout
Unlike poor Santa, I can give much more
I'm sure in bliss my name you'll scream and shout!

Was hoping to get you with my attempt at humor and all. Little devil is having a tantrum. Can't seem to please ya! Oh well....This is life. I thought I'd do well cause I used TWO of the themes. :( Take care....

Thanks, dearie. This is important to me. I know Andrea likes humor, and it isn't my forte. I worked hard on this. I hope it gets to see the light of day. Hugs

Hi, Sara...thanks for the visit. You somehow always land up on the naughty ones! I thought maybe you'd have a look at my "Talking to Jesus on New Year's Eve" write. I'm not all naughty!!! ;) Hugs
