Sounds like a girl sho likes parties and looks like a Christmas prostitute. The cork as you say can be part of her job or opening champagne to celebrate New Year's Day
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Congrats on placing third in the contest.

Life of the Party is one of those could be an innocent sweet little poem....or it could carry just a hint of cheeky sexual suggestiveness. Either way- I like this 5-7-5. I have a feeling that a young "Lady in Red" would not have to worry about passing by that mistletoe. She might be pursued by suitors carrying their own piece of movable mistletoe.
Well done Lisa.

Hi Lisa,
Nice artwork for your poem! It reminded me of a Christmas episode of Frasier where a stripper trims the psychiatrist's head like a Christmas tree just as his radio show is ending for the day. He acts mad, ruffled, and begins to storm out of the sound booth. But at the last moment realizes what he'd be missing. The stripper is a gorgeous blond, dressed like your illustration here. Frasier turns to her, puts his briefcase down, insults himself, and plants a kiss on her lips taking full advantage of the situation!
I'm not familiar with the term "cracker". We use "crackerjack" as slang for excellent quality or ability in these parts.
To describe a "party girl", we might just say she's a "hottie".
She'd definitely pop some corks!
Good luck with this entry in the Christmas Poetry contest!
Cheers,
Kimbob

You are the life of any party, Jenny. :) Why using only words you turn heads around and bring a smile. I love the Christmas girl. Does she come all dressed up or in a stocking? :) I thought cracker was a term used for those up north. Oh well, a cracker of a poem!

I bet Mary could put her to good use out there in the stable! Rake the hay, get some more warm blankets, some coffee, some postpartum peripads. No, Joseph doesn't need anything. But you could hold Baby Jesus close to your heart and rock him for awhile while I get some rest. Thank you so much, you're crackers!
Solid contest entry, representing the "other side" of Christmas :)

That sort of sexy young thing probably wouldn't want to get baby puke on her outfit, even if it was baby Jesus.

I like the way this 5-7-5 is to the point without beating the reader over the head. I like the 'ing' sound repeating in the second line. I heard short 'o' assonance in stockings, popping, hot. Nice share.

So many women dress up in those little Mrs. Clause outfits. It is just another chance for them to show off their bodies. And to add that a party someone out to have a good time.

I've actually never seen a woman dressed in a Mrs Claus outfit. Maybe New Zealand women aren't sexy enough? or maybe I don't go to those sort of parties.

You have made excellent use of your seventeen syllables in this descriptive, colorful, naughty poem. The artwork is the perfect accompaniment--suggestive.

Thanks for all your reviews. I'm pleased you get my humour and satire. Now, how about you write something for me to review?
