Imagine Santa 'flew over a town' because of the flu but leaving Kleenex behind so they could 'get over it'.

Noses Blow
by Sandra S. Corona
On one frosty Christmas Eve,
noses came to town
(running, hanging down).
Saint Nicholas whizzed on by.
A blink of the eye
told everyone why.
No handkerchiefs, no relief,
noses all around
(running, hanging down).
Saint Nicholas (duty-bound)
couldn’t spread flu ‘round
so dare not touch ground.
We’re fortified with Kleenex
for noses in town
(please keep them wiped down)
Saint Nicholas sent them free
hoping we’d all see
make colds history.
One time as legend has it
Rudy’s nose fell down
in a wayward town
Saint Nicholas couldn’t see
Christmas couldn’t be
had no presents! Gee!
Now this frosty Christmas Eve
keep noses in tow
(remember to blow).
Saint Nicholas, on his way
says, “Keep germs at bay
wipe drippings away!”
And you think this is funny, huh, well you are absolutely right, though Santa lost my address since I moved into this camper...no chimney to slide down, and Rufuz gets upset when someone tries to get in thru the door when I am not home or asleep...my protector he is...Ed
Homer's Ill Iliad & Odd Sea Odyssey (420 pages) is an adult satire/parody rewrite of the classic stories of the 10 year Trojan War and of the 10 year adventure of Odysseus trying to return home to his native Ithaca.
