Claus Kitchen 3
Author's Note: St
Patrick Celebration
Contests rules:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Happy St.
Patrick’s Day!" The elves in the workshop all rang aloud as the old man
walks into the place. He pauses and then looks at the group of elves.
"Ho,! Ho!
Ho!" Santa laughed at the reminder that today is St. Patrick Day. He knows
the elves like to celebrate this day just as they love to celebrate Christmas
with him, but he is ever busy before and during Christmas eve. "Okay, you
little miscreants. We shall the day off today and let us have a celebration"
"Woo....wee...
He's calling it a holiday" One joyous elf jumped into the air with his
hands raised high.
"Oh shut it
down, Gimly. You jump for joy on any breaks as long as you can slip into the
corner with your Vennie. Can't you all do it when we all go to bed, and be the joy
you would have the whole night to joy it all." That was the jealous Minnie
who was Gimly's ex but now being replaced by his latest Vennie.
"Oh, Minnie.
Don't tell me you still thinking of the scrap with him? Why he is best to be
forgotten for he is a large in the sound and small in the performance. I would
sum up his sailing mast in this limerick;
I once sailed a
boat named O'Gimly
When I should be
in with another named Scally
When sailed to sea
he out to best
That he can rival
the Scally in the best
But he was a tad
too small in the galley
That took on the
whole workshop to roar to in heavy laugher as poor Gimly slips away into the
corner by himself. But the roar brought in a bigger roar from the kitchen as Mrs.
Claus came in with her roller and dough.
"I hear laughter
from my kitchen and whose merriment is it. And how dare you deny me of such an
occasion when I am the missus of the House." She did not walk in alone but
she came with her troupe of pixies armed with plates of delectable dishes and
sweet tidings for all to enjoy.
"Come, my
dear. It's St Patrick Day, and I have given the elves the day off. How did you
come to be so prepared for the occasion when I have not mentioned it to
you?" The old man named Santa embraced his lovely wife as he watches the
pixes laid the dishes on the working tables for the elves to enjoy the new
offerings.
"Come now, my
dear husband of mine. If you could remember all the dates you missed on our
anniversary, how well do you think you could on St Patrick Day. Just like in
the past years, it's always been me who reminded you that nothing should be
amiss on these days and that includes today's celebration." She laid a
kiss on his lips and then shrink away.
"Ho! Ho! All
these years and you still feel the tickle of my beard. But you never complained
when I am snorkeling in the depths." The old man has not his drink and he
is already on the bend to his thoughts despite the early hours of the day.
"Where is
Gimly? Come here, my lad. I will recite you a good limerick to raise your
mast." Mrs. Claus soon was to start on these lines.
I once met a
frigate named O'Gimly
He is told too
small to the Galleon O'Scally
When taken to the
speed of the race in the seas
No sloop could out
beat the O'Gimly
He made sloppy of
three ports before the galleon O'Scally.
The perk up the
elf Gimly as he rejoined the party leaving four very red-faced elves standing
by the side. I guess second helpings ain't the best. But soon the as the party
gets underway, the mood all changed to joys and fun as the drinks get into the
head.
No one noticed the
two couples who slips away, although one of them can't be a mistake by the size
of their girth; the other was a redeemed elf about to sailed into a new port
with his sloop.
