They were Santa’s naughty secret

Ones he kept from Mrs. Claus

Imagine what the elves would think

If they knew about his flaws

How Santa loved the ladies

Each place he stopped had more

Swayed and seduced, how could he!

Surely the Mrs. would be sore

If she were to find out exactly

What the jolly old man did at night

Now Santa’s on her naughty list

And she’s the one out of sight

So remember when you hear the sound

Of jingle bells in the sky

It’s not Kris Kringle in the sled

But Mrs. Claus, just swinging by

Charlie does the moonwalk
While Lester checks the gifts
Bartholomew is wondering
What’s in the box he lifts

Seems Charlie doesn’t care much
About the presents left to wrap
He’d much rather dance around
Donned, in his stocking cap

Bart leans on his buddy
For a moment, does he pause
Where did Lester get the box?
Did he steal from Santa Claus?

It seems a shame to tattle
So he makes a deal with Les
“Give me the box, I’ll be quiet
So you won’t have to confess.”

Lester takes a moment
Then decides to take the chance
Grabs hold of Charlie’s pompom
And follows in the dance

Bart can see he’s defeated
Might as well join in the fun
Best to keep his secret
And now my tale is done

Santa Claus ~ #poetry of #Christmas

Dedicated to all the wonderful men who grace the malls and schools, and businesses, who give of their time to bring joy to the children, and smiles to the adults…I say Thank you 🙂


Twas the night before Christmas
The place was in tatters
Ribbons and wrappings
And empty cookie platters

With no time to waste
I had to move fast
The children were waiting
With lists in their grasps

I threw on my long johns
And fastened the flap
I hope I can get out of these things
In a snap!

With my belly all stuffed
And my white fluffy beard
Donned my red woolen coat
Wrapped in holiday cheer

Little eyes glowing, pure and simple, with glee
When they came and they sat upon my bended knee
The excitement I saw, was worthy of bliss
When they jumped off my lap, and blew me a kiss

Oh! What joy it brings to my heart
Making sure all was merry and bright
With my sack fully packed
And the sleigh on its way
Merry Christmas to all
And to all a good night!

Sparkling white, like a shining star

Glistening softly, from where they are

The glory of Christmas begins to unveil

With beautiful lights, aglow, what a tale!

Of a jolly old man, who stopped by to visit

And brought with him, Oh! I wonder, who is it?

Why it’s his little elves, who wrapped up in bows

Toys for the kiddies, and everyone knows

When magic appears over skies, high above

It’s Santa and his reindeer, leaving packages of love

 

My Note: Had a few moments while sitting at the hospital, tried to think of happy things.  This is what I came up with   🙂
