What a Hoot Steve! The rhyme and meter went forward like a song with good lyrics. So Santa is in trouble with Mrs. Claus! Sounds like she needs to take over she did a much better job. Can't blame her for wanting to go somewhere warmer. Now this thing about slaying the reindeer for chamois is going to cause a big protest. I need another six. Well done my friend. Have a great weekend. Nancy

Now you've gone and done it--trailer-trashed Santa. What's even better, you turned his missus into a shrew. Top of the naughty list for you, young man.

'twas Blitzen's name'? What? You got corn cobs in your ears, boys?

Quirky, fun, and irreverent--the unholy trinity.

I'm thinking no amount of whiskey will make Sandy frisky.

Then again, she skipped my house--so screw her.

Good luck.

Peace, Lee

Thanks, Lee.

I did think she might come across a couple of santa-fancying Moms in her travels, but didn't want to get poor old Santa into even more trouble.

Have a safe and happy new year.

Steve, I love when you are playfully naughty! I got a few good laughs out of this!
The basic idea was pretty fun to begin with, then you topped it with very specific organization skills (how to load the sleigh :) and I almost woke up my sleeping son reading this: "And, Rudolph, I'm half blinded -- can you dim that bloody nose!?" The GPS was a nice touch, too! This is such an effortless, joyful poem!
Thank you for sharing!

PS: My eyebrows did run up reading the title - I thought this poem would be about pole dancing! :D

No pole dancing I'm afraid, but that does give me an idea for next time - of course I'd have to bring Sandy back from Miami first.

Glad you enjoyed this so much. I can tell when I start laughing at my own work that I have something pretty good!

It's an amusing poem which some male chauvinists may not like. Mrs. Santa Claus has shown her mettle and she is undoubtedly a better organizer as well as technical savvy to use GPS. It is a sad news for all that she is seeking a divorce when the festivities are rocking the world. We readers appeal Mrs. Claus to reconsider her decision.

Hmmm.. it gets pretty hot in Florida. Mrs Claus might be back cooling her heels at the pole before next Christmas.

Thanks for the great review.

Wow! That's gonna change things drastically, isn't it? She's taking all the reindeer! Poor Santa! I guess that'll teach him to drink and drive.

Good rhyming, Steve. And you kept it at a nice, steady rhythm. Made me grin in a number of places. Good luck in the contest!!

A delightful tale for the season with fun end rhyming and some internal rhyming to add to the humor. Christmas was saved for another year, but alas, not poor Santa's home life. Maybe he can find some magic dust and win Mrs. Claus' affections back again. Thank you for the smile. Best of luck in the contest.

Thank you. I don't think she will be able to resist his animal magnetism for too long. After all, what's to like in Miami?

Have a safe and happy new year.

LMAO!

So what else is new? When there's work to do
you can put your faith in women -
they'll take control - make the wheels roll
and get things back on track again.

Too bad St. Nick was such a dick
(that's Dumbass, Inebriated, Chronic Knucklehead)
now he's lost his wife and cushy life
and he's left with just a empty bed.

Serves him right, it was just one night!
But he couldn't even see the light.
No matter how often she told him
he didn't believe she would leave him.

Now he and his elves have been orphaned
while ex-Sandy tans, laying on the Florida sand.

Ho Ho Ho

Now Santa's free to play around
with Christmas groupies, who abound.
Divorced, who cares? Why didn't I
Do this before? Oh me. Oh my!
That battleaxe is out of sight,
I'll drink all day and **** all night.

Thanks for the fun review - two sides to every story.

Have a safe and happy new year.
