Poem

A short, fat man with ruddy nose
Who dresses up in ruddy clothes
And sits behind a tiny herd
Of reindeer as they fly like birds

Across the sky delivering gifts
To boys and girls. He must be swift!
To answer every wish and hope
That omnipresent philanthrope

From pole to pole they travel fast
A Christmas feat that’s unsurpassed
From home to home they’re never seen
By any person in between

Except perhaps by nodding child
Anticipatingly beguiled
Who catches sight of something weird
In crimson coat and fluffy beard

But awed amid a stifled yawn
Can’t speak before the vision’s gone
Too groggy to communicate
Shuts eyes and hopes that sleep will wait

Yet floats off in another dream
Envisioning a Christmas scene
A merry little fantasy
On jolly Santa’s comfy knee

But then the dark capitulates
And dawn and child abruptly wake

Then recollecting image of
A bushy face with child-like love
Rush out in unrestrained pursuit
Of gentle man in scarlet suit

But setting eyes upon the piles
Of packages in wrapping … smiles
And thoughts of stranger dressed in red
Escape enthusiastic head

Now reindeer, man and flying sleigh
Have undetected, slipped away
Into a dream of Christmas cheer
That happens only once each year

And resting underneath a bed
A box now holds a suit of red
And whiskers of a snowy white
Still warm from exploits in the night

Confirm nocturnal visit real
And father thinks he still can feel
Small eyes upon his back as he
With love placed gifts beneath the tree
