Falstaff was in a merry mood, expecting a fine gift from Prince Hal.
Solstice*1947 over 2 years ago
/// Sir John Falstaff sat close to the table,
(or as close as his girth could enable).
He clutched his wine jug
and his full pewter mug.
He’s much better than real; he’s a fable.
/// A companion to youthful Prince Hal,
but not suitable as a King’s pal.
As a glutton, he’ll ape
the wine jug’s spheroid shape.
Sherry sack helps him keep up morale.

Rudolph is worried. He thinks Santa won’t need his red nose anymore.

All the children shook with fears
And not even a mouse here stirs
Relax, y’all, ’cause this chubby drunk
Is not Santa, but – who had thunk? -

So, “box-wine” used to come in jugs? I still prefer to have the spigot.

His nose is grown rubicund
He’s more than a little rotund..
He’s a barrel of laughs
(With a few ethnic gaffes)

His hands are very small and he’s wearing an old-fashioned golf hat. Could be related I suppose…

He seems to be drinking alone
(A condition that most would bemoan)..
But that’s an illusion
Of friends a profusion
Is as close as his handy iPhone…

/// In trying myself to outdo,
these limericks get harder to spew.
I have used all the rhymes
at least two or three times.
So, I think I will try a haiku.
— Through winter’s long nights
the fat knight drinks and he smiles.
Almost numb enough.

After having a few, people tend to reminisce …
Why, when I was younger, I could hide behind this jug! Really!
