Happy Monday to you all and welcome to Christmas week and to Esther Chilton’s regular kick-off-the-week challenge.
We had a lot of fun last week, composing limericks that contained the word SLIP.
This week, Esther’s one word prompt for our limericks is SANTA. So, are you able to write a limerick using the word SANTA in it somewhere which will amuse the rest of us?
The big question on my lips is, “Will you be good or will you be naughty?” The filling of your Christmas stocking could rest on your answer!
If you prefer to side-step the weekly prompt, avoiding difficult questions from SANTA, please feel free to ignore our prompt and write a limerick to suit your current mood and feelings. Just let it flow. Delight us all with your creativity.

Santa rode out on his sleigh
Thought deliveries would take all day
But he finished very quick
Because his reindeers had a nip
Of energy boosting “SUPER” hay!

Does Santa Claus have CCTV?
For if I’m naughty, he knows it was me.
I tried to be good
And not quite so rude,
But Bony Tony was rude to me!

Will the travel ban keep Santa away?
Or will he get through on his sleigh?
It’ll keep me awake
For goodness sake
Wondering what’ll come Christmas day

I hope Santa’s got the booster shot!
‘Cause right now the virus is very hot
To land on a roof
He’ll need vaccine proof
And without, crossing borders he will not…

If he and the elves need to quarantine for ten days, It’ll be the eleventh day of Christmas before we see any of our gifts.
Let’s hope that the 11 pipers piping can calm down the ten lords a-leaping, as they’ll be hopping mad by that stage.

A shortage of drivers, they say
Threatens turkeys for Christmas day
But don’t fear girls and boys
You’ll still get your toys
Cos Santa delivers by sleigh!

I never believed in Santa
This was my constant mantra
Until one day
All I’ll really say
My mantra became a cantata
