I love this pairing. It is both festive and funny - just as the prompt asked for. The idea of elves working for pay is also a funny notion considering how they are portrayed in the stories

Well cute - and the limericks work well - didn't know elves got paid - but I reckon strikes happen everywhere. Good job with the cute poems. If they dont' get a raise they may put a doll's head on backward or leave off the tires of a toy car.

Ooo Santa baby... How to make that artwork come to life for me... Lolz.

Well thought out. Clearly and creatively written. Good lyrical flow of rhythm and rhymes. Good visual imageries. Good sense of humor. Nice work. Good luck in the contest :)

This dual limerick holiday poem, The Elves Ace in the Hole, has the general formatting, twice, and allows that Mrs' Claus is a Labor backer. Bargaining is lopsided.

I think this is a good entry for the Holiday Dualing Limericks writing prompt.
This is a side of Mr and Mrs Santa that we've not seen before.
Well done and I wish you luck with the contest.

This is clever, cute, funny, and very well thought out. This Santa looks like bodybuilder Santa. He might get into a wee bit of trouble coming down some lonely women's chimneys. He might not have to worry about Mrs. Claus. He would have to restrain himself from partaking of forbidden fruit. I enjoyed this humorous and well written work. Well done!

LOL. Such a cute poem. This really brought a smile to my face as I read
it. Mrs. Clause describes Santa as Tarzan. I think it has a very good chance
of winning the contest. Good luck!

This is cute. Yes, the Christmas season and everyone feels entitled to a raise, especially those hard, over worked elves. Well, this is funny. May you have a Merry Christmas, and get at least a snuggle.
