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

A single petal, missing

From the slim stem down below

No longer made her shapely

But she still continued to grow

A star within her center

Told her story, plain and true

She was perfectly imperfect

Twas with beauty that she grew

I blame a lack of sleep for this one  😉


Inane was putting it mildly

All they knew was making merry

A cranberry wine, ever so fine

Those crazy dingleberries

 

They’d stomp about in vats

They drove us all quite bats

Poured a glass or two, whoop de doo

Didn’t matter after all that

 

So if you ever passing the shop

The Dingle’s invite you to stop

Raise up a glass, get drunk off your ass

Hang around for the next new crop

As fate would have it
Appearing again
A visible creature
An angel, so prim

She’ll pour you a glass
Or perhaps even two
As the clock ticks off time
Oh my, how it flew

She’s taking no chances
Making sure you’ll partake
Her slithering friend
Sees to your mistake

While her innocent face
Has you mesmerized, still
She’ll pour you another
Draw you in, against your will

No longer a battle
This one, you did lose
A victim of happenstance
Better knock off the booze
