I’m about to take a little blogging break over the festive period but I couldn’t go without writing a special Christmas limerick. This one ended up becoming one of my ‘story limericks‘ that spill into two verses. I haven’t shown it to my sons for fear it would ruin their view of santa…
Santa’s Special Delivery
One Christmas unlucky Saint Nick
Began to feel terribly sick
He leaned out of his sleigh
Yelled “Look out! Bombs away!
Duck for cover below me – and quick!”
He was (thankfully) over the sea
So no one got splashed with his tea
Then our dear, festive dude
Having thrown up his food
Filled our stockings up nausea-free!
Merry Christmas everyone – I hope you have a joyful, restful, wonderful time and a very Happy New Year! xxx
What a great ode to Saint Nick Maddy
it really brought a smile to my face, thanks! A perfect Christmassy link to #WonderfulWorldofWriting
Thanks Carol! x
As always a fabulous limerick lovely, you are one gifted lady when it comes to the words! Have yourself a very merry Christmas and wonderful start to 2015! Enjoy your break xxx
Thanks Reneé, you too! xx
LOL!!
OOH I loved this.
Merry Christmas! X
Thanks Tracy! Merry Christmas to you too. xx
One assumes Santa had hit the sherry prior to go on his rounds??? One way to break it to your kids he’s not real! This made me chuck(le). #ThePrompt
I was imagining travel sickness actually but now you come to mention it, with all the sherry and brandy all those families leave out for him on Christmas eve he’s bound to feel a bit peaky isn’t he?! Thanks for commenting John.
Absolutely brilliant! This made me laugh out loud
Enjoy your break, I will shortly be doing much the same (scheduling doesn’t count, right?!). Thank you so much for sharing with #ThePrompt. Have a wonderful Christmas xx
Thanks Sara, Glad you’re having a break too – well deserved! Merry Christmas. xx
Haha. So he is human after all. If he even exists, that is…
A great end to the year. It’s been an absolute pleasure doing the linky with you and reading your limericks and other stuff. Merry Christmas! xxx
OF COURSE HE EXISTS! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!
And right back atcha. Here’s to a fab 2015!
Lol, love it – your limericks always make me chuckle. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas x
Thanks Louise – same to you. xx
Great limerick Maddy, have a lovely Christmas and see you in the New Year. xx
Happy Christmas Morgan and thank you!
I do love your limericks, they always make me smile!
Happy Christmas to you all x
Thank you Lisa. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas too. xx
Haha! That did make me smile, but I also know how difficult it is to write in limericks, where no word or sound can be wasted
Clever and funny!
Have a lovely Christmas break and see you next year at #ThePrompt
