I missed this lightening fast contest over the weekend. It was faster than then the the flick of Santa's whip. I'm not sure why some contests go on forever and some buzz by without me knowing. I hope you did well. A delightful poem, my friend. Sending you my very best for Christmas.

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Sounds like the reindeer is on Santa's list anyway. If every movement that the reindeer make becomes problematic they'll have to go to discipline class to solve their problem.

Ha! Reindeer spankings. I see, Rosemary!
Comment from Wendy G
Yes, there is only so much that magic can do. and these hypotheticals will surely happen as the process of ageing occurs (although it hasn't happened yet and they've been doing this for a while!). Best wishes for your fun entry.

Thanks Wendy. Just a little metophorical fun in relation to human aging.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I have often wondered why Santa hasn't updated his method of delivery and your suggestion here in your last line makes perfect sense! This is a fun write for the contest, I wish you luck, I was entertained and amused, love Dolly x

Oh, say it isn't so! That might have been quite shocking at the Mail Store! Hide the kids. This is very good poetry here. :-)
Send out this notice to everyone you can. Jesse James Doty is going under the knife at 1pm Monday. The operation is on his neck. Dangerous. Please encourage others to pray or send good wishes if you can. They are trying to strengthen his neck so he will have less pain. Pass this along please. You can copy this and add it to you messages.

Comment from Daylily
Lol Obviously, there would be very little left to motivate anyone to continue living. No Ho-ho-hos ringing out in the moonlit sky, no presents beneath zillions of Christmas trees around the world, no little noses pressed against windows hoping for a magical supercalifragilisticexpialidocious appearance?
Oh, horrors...it is just too terrible to imagine!

Comment from dragonpoet
Hi,
I like this sarcastic questions that could also be a general metaphor for human aging. But wouldn't Santa just get younger reindeer. That story was just for one moment in time. Santa may be eternal but reindeer aren't. That is my answer to your questions.
Good luck in then contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Comment from Wendyanne
Lol I have been reading some very funny Christmas poetry today and yours is no exception. I have to ask why Cupid is only interested in books as he is the God of desire, erotic love, attraction and affection according to Wikipidea. Well done. Perhaps "loving" books? ie, books about loving lol. Perhaps I'm overthinking it.

No. You are perfectly correct! I switched it with an awesome word. Check it out. Thanks!
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, What Happens When, has the logical fix when all of Santy's reindeer come down with the maladies we have always hoped they would avoid. UPS is open too.

Comment from Barry Penfold
A funny poem but what a tragedy if all of this came true. No presents for the children except may be the ones that do get through FedEx. Cleverly put together. All the best for the contest. Have a wonderful day.
Regards
