Note:1 Karin aka K, Manicddaily, suggested to write of 'presents or presence' at d'Verse. Can't think of anything better than the presence of old Santa himself - and of his stockings full of presents for boys and girls the world over!
Note:2 I had always thought it was spelled with an 'e' ie 'imposter' as many thought so too! But the dictionary ( The Little Oxford Dictionary) had it with an 'o' ie 'impostor'. I don't suppose the dictionary is a misprint
I'm everybody's point-man
Been that long and loving it
I'm universal, neutral and everywhere
but rarely seen
Beware of impostors
Be warned!

Grandma challenged us to write a Micro Fiction of 140 characters or
less based on the above picture and to include the word 'neutral'
Written for Karin's hosting at d"Verse, the Poetics of Presents/ce and Grandma's Goulash, Succinctly Yours # 92
Not sure imposters take the warning as many are around, but only one truth with it seems to be found.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, yes, many imposters around. One in each shopping mall. I do hear they make pretty good money for their 'impostering' though. Growing that long white beard proves to be worth it for those who can.

The imposter is an impostor!
ReplyDeleteBut Santa continues to live on and on in the world.
And neutral as Switzerland.
Happy Festivus, Hank.

When I was a kid, I was always told the "impostors" were 'Santa's helpers,' thus making the Big Guy more special, as you never really saw him in person. Took a few years for me to realize there was a reason for that. ;_) This was lots of fun in just a few characters, Hank--a very happy holiday to you and your family, and thanks so much for all your visits and comments this year.
ReplyDeleteImpostors abound, do they not? What a fun take on Jolly Old Saint Nick, whom I described to my children as the "Spirit of Giving."
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays, Hank!
...eversince i lived on earth i am always a believer of Santa even now that i'm 21 nothing's changed... and though i hate impostors too i must thank 'em still for somehow they make efforts to let Santa be known and loved....
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you Hank and to your family!!!
..smiles...
There are plenty of real Santa's around...every time something is given with love! Fun take on "neutral."
ReplyDeletemy kids are waiting too.. for the real one.. they are planning to camp out by the fireplace this time around and stay awake for Santa..
ReplyDeleteHahaha--and there are SO many impostors, but their hearts are in the right place.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Delightful!
ReplyDeleteThe real one will be visiting tonight :-)
ReplyDeleteNice one.
You've packed more than one layer of meaning into this one. Nicely done. Wishing you a Merry Christmas. I always look forward to your succinct offerings and hope to see plenty more in the new year.
