Reindeer Poop Pems
Reindeer Poop
You could use chocolate covered raisins or nuts for Reindeer Poop
Each section is a separate poem
I woke up with such a scare when I heard Santa call...
"Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!
I ran to the lawn and in the snowy white drifts,
those nasty reindeer had left "little gifts".
I got an old shovel and started to scoop
neat little piles of "reindeer poop".
But to throw them away, seemed such a waste,
So I saved them, thinking ~ you might like a taste!
As I finished my task, which took quite awhile,
Old Santa passed by and he sheepishly smiled.
And I heard him exclaim as he rose in the sky
"Well, they're not potty trained, but at least they can fly!"
-----
For all the souls who hate the noise of Christmas cheer and lights and toys
For Mr. Scrooge, and Mrs. too, here's a little gift for you...
A lump of coal won't be enough to make up for the shine and fluff,
So, here's a scoop of reindeer poop to offset all that Christmas Goop!!!
-----
Christmas is coming and so are the deer
listen closely and you will hear,
And 'long with them comes a special treat,
Reindeer droppings for you to eat!!!!!

Turkey Poop Poem!
Turkey Poop
Chocolate Peanuts or Raisins for these too!
You invited me to Thanksgiving dinner
with your family and your friends.
You didn't tell me I was the main dish.
For me it was "THE END!"
You frightened me so badly--I knew I had been duped!
So, I left you with my calling card, this bag of turkey poop!
Happy Thanksgiving, from The Turkey

Snowman Poop Poem
Remember mini marshmellows in a bag with an adorable snowman topper!
Santa came and went last night
Traveling on his worldwide loop.
Because you weren't so good this year
You get no coal, just snowman poop.
Round and white, tasty and light
Eat some for sweet dreams tonight!
