Rein Drops

Rein Drops The reindeer were pulling for Santa They struggled to get past a canter He said they were flying Like ducks that were dying But that was just lighthearted banter But what Santa wasn’t to know Was Rudolph was gasping to go His guts started grumbling Then, excrement tumbling He pebble-dashed Ontario 1 December 2018 For Carolyn Devonshire’s Christmas Limerick contest

Thanks Jan. Well chuffed with a second with my second choice of entry. My first choice had three verses so would have disqualified itself.

Terry, I was rolling with laughter when I read this! Congrats on a second-place win! While reading this, I had visions of the mess Rudolph left over Ontario. Competition for this contest was amazing and yours was among the poems that stood out as outrageously humorous. Thanks for the laughs - Carolyn

You know the expression, ‘Don’t look down’... in Ontario, they now say ‘Don’t look UP!’ Thanks for responding Andrew

G'day Terry … at least Ontario gardens are fertilized. Poor old Santa is copping plenty this year. He could end up with versico (sic!) - thanks Terry - Lindsay

I think Santa’s gonna need a hard hat if he’s to survive Christmas on Soup
