    I just received this one, which I’d like to share with Rumpus readers, because it was FREE and it is brilliant:

    Gin makes me happy
    Too much gin makes me Santa
    Oops there goes dinner

    Merry Christmas!

    Just so everyone knows, the power of Ted Wilson knows no limit. I asked for a haiku including the word “fuselage.” Challenging? Not for Ted.

    Dear Larry,

    Santa’s big secret
    Fuselage-sized man member
    Mrs. Claus loves it

    Merry Christmas!

    Your Friend,
    Ted
