One year Santa Claus traveled to Colon to visit with the Wizard of PiP but he wore his penny loafers which cause poor Santa to slip Ron took him in and fed him let him sit in his favorite spot told him to rest there for a bit while he filled up the coffeepot They had such a lovely time laughing hard at our travesties they failed to see the duo approach from behind the willow trees The two scurried to the window it was just shelter they were after but as they listened they got caught in the spirit and the laughter So intent were they on listening they didn’t hear the truck on the road too late they realized their tracks could be followed since it snowed Panicked by discovery they raced into the house to see if the Wizard and Santa would help them both to flee Both men agreed to help them as the duo explained running away Ron helped Santa with the reins to the trusty red Santa Sleigh And just as the trackers arrived in the drive to the Wizard’s yard Santa flew off with the fugitives who flapped their wings really hard The Colon locals still tell the tale travel there and they’ll tell it to you about the year Santa flew over in a sleigh pulled by two Emu. *** A true story: http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/Midwest/12/07/offbeat.emus.escape.ap/index.html [This message has been edited by Poet deVine (12-08-2002 05:09 PM).] |

Very creative and fun! We have emu here galore running wild (up country) it is the lastest fad to raise, and eat them, but not me  they are too cute.[This message has been edited by Mysteria (12-09-2002 03:36 PM).] |

Thank you all!!! I thought this begged to be written...when I read that the emus escaped in Southwest Michigan, I figured if they traveled enough, they'd eventually get to Colon. I'm glad you all liked it! |

ROTFL at this one, and liked Balladeer's reply. Way to go Ron! I'd sure like to see that Emu with the red nose. Oops, wrong critter. |
