Hot, sexy, and fun.
There is another view of the holidays of that people want to celebrate hard.
Stockings are not always filled with candy!
Good luck with the contest.

The presentation renders a few scenarios, some straight forward and others with a touch of sex. Your imagination produced a very unique depiction of the Christmas stockings.

I'm thinking you're not capable of anything less than 5 stars. This is a sassy and fun interpretation of the prompt. I like the double entendre of filling stockings - as it applies to this hot cracker - and it's obvious Christmas meaning. Well done!

Thanks for your appreciation of my poem - clearly you got the innuendo.

This 5-7-5, Life of the Party, has the right set up and finds that the Christmas spirit can bring the fun-lover out of all potential elves.

One can get in such trouble with language. I had no idea that cracker could be a derogatory term. Amongst UK service personnel the term US stands for unserviceable. But it caused a lot of misunderstanding during WW2 when American troops based in UK on run up to D Day complained bitterly about the Limeys who declared that anything that didn't work was referred to as US!

With this picture, it is definitely party time. Nothing is wrong with that. After all it is Christmas. This year, it may be a good idea to have a two person party instead of a big party.
With a two-person party, "Christmas party girl
filling stockings, popping corks." Again nothing is wrong with that.
I won't comment on this one: "She's a hot cracker."

Thanks for reviewing. I explained in the author note that 'cracker' is positive praise in Australia, not derogatory.
I hope she is enjoying a party in New Zealand, where we don't have to wear masks and can mingle freely.

Hi another wicked good poem. You're on a roll. The good folks here may well take umbrage to this one.
But... it's super on a few levels.
Just the basic meaning and play on words...
Then more subtle ones, you may or may not be aware of:
the pops.. ah did you see Pricilla Queen of the Desert?... ping pong balls....
And Cracker in the southern States can be a certain 'type of social economic political segment of the population, in slang '....,
Any thanks for a good racer laugh..
I often need a bit of the wild side after reviewing a lot of charm and sweetness .....

Thanks for your terrific review. I'd already put an author note underneath to explain some of those meanings. I know there is a big difference between what us Aussies understand by 'cracker' and what southern USA meaning is (apart from the obvious Christmas cracker that is pulled).

I am multi lingual:
Fluent in Canadian, British, American English
Passable in Australia and Indian English😂

I see.... a true linguist! You could probably cope with New Zealand English as well then. I might write a post introducing some Maori words we use on an everyday basis sprinkled in our English.
-
that would be cool!
-
I'll do it next year... I'm concentrating on shorter poetry at the moment - I can fit these into the current busy time I'm having.

This is a clever write Lisa, you brought the party scene here with a few seasonal traditions mixed in, so few words to bring a vibrant party scene for Christmas, a fine presentation and sure to be a winner, love Dolly x

Thanks Dolly. It's already been mentioned that she should be wearing a mask. I guess she's at a New Zealand party rather than abroad.

I'm sure the "hot cracker" must have multiple meanings. I get the "fills stocks" has two meanings. I can guess the "pops corks" but I do think that second line has only six syllables unless you pronounce it differently.

Thanks for the syllable catch. I mucked around with that middle line but now i've fixed it to be correct. I've also added an author note to explain the Australian usage of 'cracker'. It is not derogatory like it could be in USA; in Oz it means terrific, great, or wonderful - something positive anyway.
