For today's poems, I wrote two limericks that are both Christmas-related. A limerick is a five-line poem with the rhyme scheme AABBA, and the first, second, and fifth lines all must have three stressed syllables, while the third and fourth lines can only have two stressed syllables. Without further ado, the poetry:
There once was a man at the pole,
Who filled stockings with presents and coal,
He's nimble, he's quick,
He's good ol' Saint Nick,
Young children do Santa extol.
He's a right good jolly old elf,
He stores his toys on a shelf,
He takes them down,
Passes them around,
To each boy and girl themself.

I mainly just wished to shed a little light on the Santa we all know and love, and how diligent he works to make every little boy and girl across the world leap with joy come Christmastime. I hope you enjoyed it!
