I always wondered if granny would have the nerve to slaughter that pesky deer . Very well written extremely lyrical which is great in your pieces case because it does have a great connection " Grandma got run over by a reindeer." I laughed at every line especially when she ended up shooting Santa Claus. Very innovative and a delight to read.

Hysterically funny and a super GREAT way to write an entry to the change-a-word poem. Your poem had great rhyme and was funny ta HOOT! I've heard several different version of this little ditty, but while reading this one... I laughed myself silly. Great contest entry and a delightful change for the Christmas season. Thank you for sharing your poetic talent and good luck in the contest.

Thanks very much, K. Lorraine. Your review has made my day because making people laugh -- creating laughter and knowing you did so -- is such a pleasure. I am very happy that you enjoyed it. :)

This was just too funny!

"somethin' about my grandma isn't right" - the entire poem is summed up with that statement. On the other hand - got to think you also have a warped sense of 'holiday good cheer.' Love the take on the song and would dearly like to see the little children at your feet as you read this on Christmas Day!

Oh, my wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a lovely vegan dinner! AT=/

Thanks million, Jean, and I believe I've already read this to almost every kid under the age of 16 in our family. My daughter told them all about it, and one by one, they have been drawn to it like bees to honey, LOL. I wish most of them were voting, LOL!

Thanks so much again, and you have a fantastic Christmas dinner too! :)

Hi,

This was a lot of fun. Although, not so much for Santa. Fun poem, with great artwork, making for a super presentation. An excellent take on the prompt.


Good luck in the contest.

*Season's Greetings*

Cheers & Blessings

Thanks a bunch, Jax. I appreciate it, and fun was what I was shooting for. No pun intended, LOL... :)

Quite the attack on dear ol' Santa with a feisty but straight forward granny that loves to shoot anything in her way.
Very nicely constructed but no song given (video not available)
shotgun shells; shotgun shells-alliteration
dear old grandma looks like she could skin a bear!- nice metaphor

Thanks, Charlene. I don't understand why the video isn't showing up for you. I see it just fine on my computer. H-m-m-m-m, seems I'll have to look into that.

Thanks again, and Merry Christmas.

Comment from Dr. Nad

This is a humorous reminder that changing only one word will create a wholly different story. What was written with plan and purpose has now fundamentally changed the very nature and plan for creative thought. This is a caution for all wordsmiths, with this subtle change, the environment changes drastically and you are a part of the mess. LOL Good entry. May God Bless You Merry Christmas. Good Luck in the Contest.

Grandma got revenge on all the reindeer

as she went into the woods on Christmas night.

You might not see Santa Claus this Christmas -

I'm afraid my grandma got him in her sights.

This is hilarious! Poor ole' Saint Nick is face down in the snow -- that blows. The pictures are priceless, and the words are even funnier. Too many funny verses in this one -- that pick just one. if I don't get any presents, I'm gonna go lookin' for grandma, and away her shotgun. Hohoho... this was a re-take, a twist to the song. Parental guidance is suggested. They may think Santa is dead! I got a sack--full of chuckles, Santa's face against the turnbuckle. I must chuckle... take your fruitcake, it's no mistake. Spook-a-Doo, boo...

Thanks, Spook-a-doo, and yeah, I'll have to have a talk with granny about shooting him. Poor kids. I know one thing, I ain't taking his place, LOL!

Thanks for the sixer, buddy! :}

reply by ProjectBluebook on 22-Dec-2014

It was great. Did you see the contest thing about you -- that Mikey did? Lol!

reply by the author on 22-Dec-2014

Thanks, Spook-a-doo, and I'm real sorry about what Granny did to Santy Claus. I'm afeared there won't be no presents this year as she done offed him. I think we seriously need to reconsider upping her medications, LOL...

reply by ProjectBluebook on 22-Dec-2014

That was funny, Spooky. I had a killer story in mind -- about what's going on in Dean's brain. I fI had to doubloon, I might would do it, but I would not enter it. I may vote for Mikey. it was pretty good and I saw your review. Lol! Almost daylight, got to get to bed. I got chapters ready, but I got to review to post them. Well, be watchin' out for Mikey, who knows... he may want to give you a labotomy. I did like the story end -- Mikey getting beat. Keep one eye opened for Mikey boy.

reply by the author on 22-Dec-2014

I've been looking up at him from beneath the rankings all year, Spook. Ain't nuthin' new for me, LOL...

Granny must have been a tough lady to haul all that meat back to her house. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read.
