Children's Christmas Flight

Children’s Christmas Flight Gold bells sounded through the snow Calm in memory above the Christmas glow Girls and boys lined up just after lunch Out in the school yard to meet Santa Claus He landed in a supersonic crunch Softly on the deepening snow In a stealth space ship with toys and candy Permission slips from each child’s parents Were collected by the tiny elves Before they entered the ship To fly around the world This was no ordinary trip Santa wanted to take them all to Mars And out among the stars But he remembered what time it was The clock struck Christmas right on the dot Being jolly, quick, and good old St. Nick Santa laughed with a Ho Ho Ho in red and white Told the children, “This is Christmas night.” Visiting stars and Mars will have to wait Santa will be working hard and late tonight He touched his bright red cheek to speak “Who wants to go to Disney World with me?!” There were twenty children there Santa counted twenty hands plus plus Some children raised two hands, to get the voting right You can never vote too much Santa retired the reindeer but only for one year They have families too, living in Alaska and Timbuktu Their vacation time was long over due The new sled is this super stealth flying ship It moves faster than a lightning bolt We’ll all have lots of fun and then return you home Before you even know it Santa will have to return to work No time for playing on planets or moons So you better go to sleep real soon Santa’s coming with toys for you!
