CHRISTMAS CRACKERS (5)

Michael Edwards

 

 

Father Christmas fell down on the job

fast  asleep as sound as a log

until the morning when he woke in disgrace

covered in soot in the fireplace.

        HAPPY CHRISTMAS UNCLE MIKE TO YOU & YOURS ~ Angela & I love your posts mainly because ~ they have an unpredictability about them so its a breath of Fresh Air each morning ~ AMEN ! We have a person on our Staff called NOEL and hes always PERE NOEL for our CMas Party for the KIDS of the Staff ! Last Year they built an elobarate Chimney for him to slide down ! Hes in the Engineering Department and he got stuck in the middle ! He nearly suffocated and they had to unscrew the section to get Him ! The Staff & the Kids were souting Encore not realising he could have been stuck in there for ever ! I do play PERE NOEL @ Church but avoid Chimneys even though Im quite SLIM 6'2" and under 12 stone ! Playing PERE NOEL is always frought with danger especially because some KIDS pee themselves with excitement ~ say no more ! I always wear a waterproof PERE NOEL outfit ! Thanks for caring & sharing FAB PAINTINGS & PERKY PUNS over 300 times in 2019 ~ You are a Blessing to us ALL ! WE elect YOU *POET & PAINTER of MPS for 2019 !* AMEN !

        Blessings & Peace to You & yours in 2020 !
        Love ANGELA & BRIAN ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š

          Wow some accolade for which I am so grateful. And it wouldn't be the same without A&B - please never leave the site - it won't be the same without you either.

          Pulled out, covered in soot
          Elves tried, but lost his boots
          Had to trudge, thru the snow
          Feet so cold, no HO! HO! HO,

          MERRY CHRISTMAS

          Hello Michael,

          A witty and great write!

          Even Santa with his festive cheer has his bad days on the job!

          Keep writing FineB
