This Santa 5-7-5, Buy American-made, has the right set up and reminds the readers that now is the time to buy close to home and help the economy.

Good write on what I believe to be an important topic for sure. Perhaps this is something we can figure out and learn from all of this craziness this year.

I think a lot of lessons are going to be learnt from this year. We just have to stay alive to act on them.

Hello my friend,
Great entry for the Santa 5-7-5 writing prompt contest. Good syllables count and connection between lines. It's pretty funny and I love the picture. Nice presentation.

Thanks for your positive response to my poem!
Comment from Cynthia Adams1
Witty poem with a slight political statement...it's go it all.
The puns are clever and work well. If you changed up Santa for Rudolf, you might have had a shot at winning the animal pun contest as well.
I am with you on buying American. I'm old enough to remember when people were craftsmen and we liked to get gifts with beauty and quality instead of the newest plastic phone that year.
Strong contender in the contest. Good luck.

Thanks for reviewing! I remember the days of quality gifts also, things that lasted instead of having to get a revised version all the time. All this incessant change isn't necessarily a good thing in products.

On this starry Christmas Holiday- purchasing products made in the USA would be a great gift to the economy. Helping small businesses is so very important....Very fun and realistically based poem for the times

Very punny--the BUCK stops DEER--also witty play on the common phrase buck stops here--this clever closer earns your stars in itself! Good luck. Priceless pic!

Very clever play with words here, with buck and deer, and the common expression. I like the photo prompt. I like the little political touch. It's a great entry, so best wishes.

I'm not American, but I've been trashing Trump lately so I thought I'd balance it and give a nod to his Make America Great policies of buying American products.

Aha, just gave yourself away didn't you?! Lol. Hope you win!

ooops!! Don't tell. It was inadvertent.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Chinese manufacturing is big business and they often don't follow safety guidelines in order to produce cheap goods for the entire world. We have 'China Town' shops all over and they are very popular. There is little competition and I would gladly buy locally produced products. Your 5-7-5 is clever and inventive, much enjoyed, you made me smile here, love Dolly x

Cheap Chinese prices are off the backs of exploited labour and unsafe practices and their goods flood the market, making it hard for low wage workers to afford locally produced good... if indeed they can find them.
(I acknowledge that is one thing Trump was trying to encourage with his Make America Great strategy for American products.)
