Antler Ride

39 Comments

 

I heard the bells ring Christmas Day

As joyfully I chewed away,

The reindeer said, “WHO

On my antlers does chew?”

“I’m guilty,” was all I could say.

 

 

“I’m leaving,” the reindeer announced,

“Come down or you’ll surely get bounced.”

“No, I can hang on,

For the time that we’re gone,”

I foolishly squeaked and pronounced.

 

 

I shivered and held on so tight,

This trip might just cause me a fright,

The wind whistled past,

We were going so fast,

“Merry Christmas to all and goodnight.”

      The Captain says it’s goofy, but I told him limericks are supposed to be goofy. Still he enjoyed the fun too.
      I’m glad you had a laugh over my squirrels riding around to the North pole and back. I hope he hangs on.

    An unlikely pairing…probably turning into the best of friends after that ride. Great picture and word picture alike!
