I hope you all had a great Christmas and Santa brought you everything you wished for! The New Year is almost here and with a new year brings:
CHANGE
So that’s your new limerick challenge this week. You had longer to craft your limericks this time with the Christmas break, so here are you limericks from two weeks ago where the prompt was SLEIGH. You came up with some fabulous limericks:
A jolly old sleigh on the hill,
With reindeer that dance and stand still,
It whizzes through snow,
With a merry “Ho ho!”
Bringing joy with a heart full of thrill.
I learned after all these years
That the bells hurt Bobtail’s ears
And how much did it weigh
That overloaded sleigh?
That song can bring a horse to tears!
I don’t want sound unkind
But a ride for a dragon when in a bind?
It’s “slay” you say
It isn’t “sleigh”?
That’s different then, never mind!
There once was a man from Galway
Who drove a Kelly Green horse sleigh.
He loved to go out
to the neighbors he’d shout.
For safety, get out of the way.
There was murder one night at the pole,
One of the elves had stole
Santa’s best sleigh!
But was it right to slay
A helper with a great lump of coal?
Miss Angela loved a good flight
On a snowy Christmas night
She hid in a sleigh
Flew up and away
Gave Santa the fright of his life.
Remembering the day
Heading to the soiree
Everyone was staring
Because we were daring
To ride in a red sleigh.
I remember that man in his sleigh,
a jolly old elf some would say.
When you’ve joy to believe,
You’ll have joy to receive
and give blessings to all every day.
Santa believes there’s a way
To cram more toys and stuff in his sleigh.
Did he not realise
He could simply downsize
With his patented stuff-shrinking ray?
Olaf Sturlasson’s Poetry Corner:
One day whilst out riding his sleigh
He shouted at Rudolph
Who told him to cool off
Or he’d take him back home right away.
