Congratulations are in order, Navada, for your very funny Christmas poem.
I chuckled a lot while reading it. You have a real gift for satire, which is my favorite kind of humor. Prize well deserved

I am not a poet and therefore can't understand how poets like yourself think this stuff up and put it in rhyme. This is phenomenally funny as each verse provides a description and tells an easy-flowing story. I truly enjoyed your work. Congratulations on your well-deserved win.

Love this and missed out reviewing it before you won! Congratulations!
Fine rhyme, meter, and a few "characters" I swear I've worked with!

LOL...

This is quite a creative Christmas Poem, well written. And I also liked the title you had picked out for the poem. Where do you get your ideas for the Christmas poem

Thank you so much! I just imagined the characters and their activities. I've never actually seen people behave like this, but I imagine they do, especially after a few drinks!

I have been to parties like this! Now that I am retired, I wonder what I was thinking (or not)
This is a fun and delightful read of that annual Christmas Party that we have all been there done.
At my first Christmas party, I woke up on the bedroom floor the morning after, and my dog was on the bed!
Good luck in the contest.
Mary

That is funny! Very creative piece and written in a way that most all readers can relate to. Good use of descriptive words to keep the intrigue and suspense. Happy holidays!

The Banjo Patterson echo is just perfect for this. You had me in stitches as the cohort of work colleagues careered madly downhill! I do hope this does well in the contest. It's a beauty and just enough on the edge to stir up this 'dignified literary website'!

Thank you so much, and of course as a fellow Aussie you caught the echo of Paterson in my opening line! Much appreciated! :)

So many well-written poems in this category. I like the idea of your poem's office party and the explanation of each character. They sound like they are getting tipsy at their annual holiday party.

Thank you, Rosemary! Yes, tipsy - and probably worse. :)
