CHRISTMAS LIMERICKS

The holiday season is here!

Spend time with the ones you hold dear.

For all to have fun,

one thing must be done:

keep Uncle away from the beer.

Look at all these stockings to stuff,

one fluffy, one silky, one rough,

with goodies galore.

Go back to the store!

You may not have have bought quite enough.

A grandmother known for her thrift

thought of an appropriate gift

to give to young Ben.

Though, pennies again

might cause just a bit of a rift.

When trimming the tree, Kate just might

fuss over the spot for each light.

She measures the space

between each light's place

and won't stop until they're just right.

He lives at the chilly North Pole.

Delivering gifts is his role.

To get them all right

in only one night:

so very ambitious a goal.

Oh, Santa! How nice you dropped in.

Refreshments before you begin?

Have cookies and cream!

To me it would seem

you're getting a little too thin.

"How should I fill up this last sock?"

Thought Nick, as he sat like a rock.

"Yes, something to eat,

an orange or a sweet,

though garlic would be quite a shock."

To Renderosity friends here,

I'm wishing you holiday cheer.

May you have a blast

and renders go fast.

So, have a fantastic New Year!
