How funny! Takes a truly original mind to come up with this one. I'm sure the Pink Panther approves. He's been trying to oust Santa for 56 years now. Coming up on his diamond jubilee!
Well done!

Gosh, is the Pink Panther really that old?? I must be showing my age to remember it so vividly.

I had a lovely chuckle reading this piece, I like the mix of characters merged with a little bit of reality. Nicely done.

I wish you best of luck in the contest.

Hi Lisa
Actually, you picked the right character to play Santa. The Pink Panther always slips around, peeking out, tip-toes, lurking... the only thing missing is a bag full of toys and am 8 RP sleigh. (RP means "Reindeer-Powered", of course). I always loved Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther movies, as Inspector Clouseau! Sadly, he died of a heart attack at age 54. Such a great comedian. I loved the scenes where he would spar with his butler, Cato Fong, who was played by Burt Kwuok. They'd sneak around the house, just like Santa does.
I like the play on words, "Claus/Claws".
Good Luck in the contest! I missed this one somehow.
Cheers,
Kimbob

Peter Sellers was a marvellous actor - Inspector Clouseau was an enjoyable character.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about Santa. The past months our normal way of thinking has adapt to the pandemic and we see everything in a different light than before.

'Strange' is the new normal.

I voted for your funny contest entry. It is a cute idea you shared with us.

If I had written YOUR poem, the last line would read:

Covid (sic) mutates me! 'Mutated' would make the last line six syllables!! (-;

LOL!! Gotta ask, though: is it COVID doing the mutation or the vaccine they're proposing...? wink, wink. :) Thanx for sharing, my lady, and best of luck at the polls! ;) Yvette

Hello, my friend,

Great entry for the 5-7-5 santa writing prompt contest. Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Blast from the past....I haven't seen the pink panther in a long time.

Good luck in the contest.

This Santa 5-7-5, Who is SantaClaus?, has the proper formatting and suggests that the wily old cat with the pink fur is really Santa Claus. He may as well be.

This is a cute write for the contest and is a fun scenario with the play on 'claus' and the mutation of Santa. Good presentation with both your writing and the picture.
