The stockings weren’t hung with great care.
They were hung with a nonchalant air.
They were so badly made,
they were ripped, torn and frayed,
forcing Santa to place gifts elsewhere.

Due to a strange quirk of fate
Bill posted his cards far too late.
So he wrote, “Do not fear,
these can be for next year.
Please display at a much later date.”

About the Writer


Paul Tubb

For someone whose work has been described as "Delightfully Ridiculous"(Carousel Guide), "Eccentric" & "A Comic Gem" (Books Ireland), most people, when they meet Paul H Tubb are amazed by how dull and commonplace he seems. He does write poetry and draw cartoons, but very little else can be said about him. His latest book is a collection of Limericks entitled, Please Return Barnaby and further details about his art, can be found on his website: www.paulhtubb.com
