Poem
'Twas the night before Christmas and it started to snow Santa Claus was getting ready to go, ho ho ho To keep himself warm he drank Scotch whiskey from a keg Then walked to get Rudolph, slipped on ice and broke a leg. The elves rushed over and put Santa on a stretcher He told the head elf, Mrs Claus you'd better fetch her She came out of the house with a big smirk on her face Santa said" the jokes on you, you'll have to take my place". She started to protest saying " I don’t know the way" Santa said "Rudolph does, you just sit back in the sleigh When you get to the rooftops just slide down the chimney Drop off the kids presents and put them under the tree". Things went so well and all the presents got delivered But temperatures were dropping and Mrs Claus shivered She made it back to Lapland quite late on Christmas day Santa was there to greet her and he had this to say. "All the children of the world today are full of glee Woke up this morning to find presents under their tree If it was not for you children would have been so sad That you stood in for me makes me feel proud and glad". "A big roaring log fire I've prepared just for you" Told the elves' to get her in cos she was turning blue Said "first take her to the kitchen it's nice and warm there She can start cooking dinner and other Christmas fayre". Written 22nd November 2019 For The Night Before 2 Poetry Contest. Sponsored By Joseph May.
