Objet :  Pére Noel sans Rudolph

Je lis tous vos messages qui sont très variés et différents

alors toujours quelque chose nouveau. 

Malheureusement, moi je n'en suis pas capable. Je ne peux pas 

qu'écrire des choses simples en français. 

Pourtant j'ose de vous envoyer un petit série de limerick en

anglais espérant que JMF ou Rolland vont expliquer en français 

pourquoi Rudolph ne va pas venir avec le Père Noel cette année pour

emporter les cadeaux aux enfants........c'est toute ma faute! 

Christmas Limerick 

I just met Rudolph the reindeer

Who hesitated to come too near

So I lured him with a drink

And what did he think?

"..well, I cannot resist to a cold Irish beer"

So he approached me rather cautious

As if I looked very ferrocious

But he soon smelled the Guinness

Which could make him later "legless"

And force him to join the Alcoholics Anonymous

But red-nosed Rudolph did not care

"I, too, would like to have my share"

he said and grabbed the glass

but dropped it in the grass

"Ah nooooooo! That's not very fair!"

So I offered him a bottle of wine

Which immediately made his eyes shine

Cause this he loved even more

And he dreamt of Bangalore

And forgot he had to meet Santa at the Rhine!

So if Santa, this Christmas, comes alone with a donkey

Or even on the back of a monkey

Then it's because of me

And I am so sorry

For turning poor Rudi into a "liquid junkie"

Bonne weekend et bienvenue à Serge de Quebec.
