Thank you for sharing this adorable contest entry with us. I enjoyed reading and smiled as I read. I'm worried about poor Santa without Rudolf. LOL Even though I have no children at home I still follow Santa's route every Christmas Eve. Good luck with the contest.

Thanks, Barb. Santa use to go without Rudolph, so hopefully, he can manage.

Loved it! Made me smile. Good luck in the contest and kudos to you for the creative approach and for not sentimentalizing the heck out of this much over-worked holiday.

Haha, what a fun limerick, Paul. Great job with the
style of limericks. Your rhymes read well, the flow
was smooth, and your story hopefully isn't true.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

Paul, you have written a very fun limerick for this contest. And you kept it "G" rated. Good luck in the contest. Let's do hope that the cold does not keep Rudolph out for long. Good work. Terry.

Thanks, Terry. "G" rated limericks are rare. I had to hold back.

Very cute, but I fear Santa might be appreciating the delay as he swings in his hammock beneath the palms. Might this be a bit of trickery so Santa and Rudolph can steal away for a vacation?

Smiles, Carol

Thanks, Begin. When he sent me that post card with the palm trees, I thought he was up to something.

Ha-ha! (Or should I say ho-ho...)

A few days left... Here's hoping some R&R for Santa and Rudolph WILL get them up up a for away in the sleigh in plenty of time!

(Alternatively perhaps acted sunburned nose will have to do!)

Cute!

Thanks, Karenina. A sunburned nose is something I didn't think of.

reply by karenina on 19-Dec-2022

I really wouldn't wish that on poor Rudolph! (smile)

I like the limerick. Your approach to the writing prompt yielded good work. You created a product that is good fun. This is good writing. I enjoyed reading it.

Thanks, Doc. Perhaps Rudolph should get a hold of you for some medicine.

Office closed until after the new rear. LOL, You are welcome.

Paul, This is a very cute and very well written limerick you have penned for the contest. You used very good descriptive words and perfect imagery that made me giggle. Best wishes in the contest and Merry Christmas to you and your family! Teri

Thanks, Teri. This was my first Christmas limerick.

Depends. Is it overcast? Foggy? or partially cloudy? Maybe he could unwrap something his elves packaged, such as a GPS. In a world filled with technology, Santa can more than likely, stay at home, give Ruddy a bone or a bale of sweet hay, call Amazon and have they or FedEx or UPS deliver this year.
