Poem
'Twas the night before Christmas and outside blew a gale Ol' Santa had a brainwave and on his sleigh rigged a sail He was preparing for what lay ahead, an arduous task Then waved goodbye to Mrs Claus and put on a face mask. First he delivered to the all the cities then town after town But cross winds were now blowing that slowed the sleigh down He then put down on the highway to dismantle the sail And the flapping of the sail fabric tickled Rudolphs tail. Rudolph thought it was Santa and started moving away But Santa was on the roadside minus his sleigh The air turned quite blue, ( I wont repeat what he said ) Santa's face was the colour, like his suit a bright red. He took out his cell phone and dialed nine one one And told the bemused operator what had gone on "My head reindeer Rudolph has made off with my sleigh That's loaded with kids presents for Christmas day". An all points bulletin was sent out for the runaway sleigh Santa prayed that the traffic cops would save the day Cops in choppers were scrambled and to save at any cost The magic of christmas, that looked like 'twould be lost. By now Rudolph was getting tired and stopped for a rest Then the cops in choppers landed, to make an arrest Rudolph pleaded his innocence and said he didn't know Then looked behind him and said " where the hell did he go?". It was all a misunderstanding and everything turned out okay Sleigh and Santa were reunited and went off on their way He cracked his whip then from a bottle took a large sup Told Rudolph to get a move on as the kids would soon be up. He delivered all the presents and now house lights were coming on Santa was full of praise for Rudolph, for the hard work that he'd done He made for home going by the airfield with five crates of elf beer As a thank you to the chopper cops and to bring them some cheer. Meanwhile at home Mrs Claus was preparing the turkey She knew that when Santa got home he'd be tired and hungry Santa phoned her on his cell phone , she answered "yes dear" He said "Merry Christmas Mrs Claus and a happy new year". Written on 3rd December 2020. Christmas Poems Old or New Poetry Contest Sponsored by Constance La France.
