CHRISTMAS LIMERICKS #1

I have no idea if this will work, but let's give it a whirl. We're going to write our own Christmas Limerick.

Limericks are short 5 line poems in this format:
1st line 8 syllables with last word "A"
2nd line 8 syllables with last word rhyming with "A" in first line
3rd line 5 syllables with last word "B"
4th line 5 syllables with last word rhyming with "B" in 3rd line
5th line 8 syllables with last word rhyming with "A" in first line

Example:
There once was a snowman named Bud
Who thought of himself as a stud
But later that day
A girl came his way
And he melted and turned into mud

Here is the first line:
1. WHEN SANTA TOOK OFF IN HIS SLEIGH

Next person copy that line and add second line. Person after that copy first 2 lines and add 3rd line. If this works, when this limerick is finished, we'll post a new beginning line.

PUT ON YOUR THINKING CAPS AND OFF WE GO!!!!

I'm a limerick professional (I've won contests for mine and also gotten kicked off websites for some).

You were too quick for me Dasiavue! When I started my post no one else had replied . . . sorry for the overlap. Need to type faster, I guess.

When Santa took off on his sleigh,
His reindeer did not want to play,
He whispered, "oh dear!"
Now be of good cheer,
And then, they were off on their way!

WOW gang...y'all are great at this. We have two limericks from that beginning line. HOW AWESOME!!!

Desaivue...I'm impressed with your limerick skills. Congrats on winning those contests. We'll try to keep up with you!!!

(We'd love to read some of your "G" rated limericks if you'd be willing to share them, Desaivue!)
