Poem Title:
Poem
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all was quiet Till a very loud noise woke me, sounding like a riot I put on my fluffy slippers and creep down the stairs The lounge door is open, and I see the sofa and chairs My heart is beating quickly, like a drum in my chest when I espy black boots poking out the chimney breast With my eyes as big as saucers, I squeal with delight Santa Claus is visiting, but something’s not quite right I said, “Are you ok Santa?” Santa said, “No, I am stuck Please fetch Papa. He has a crane on his rescue truck” Papa dresses quickly and phones men and ‘older’ boys Santa must be freed, so he can deliver children’s toys The rescue goes smoothly, and when they get Santa out He said, “I shouldn’t have eaten that last Brussel Sprout My belly is so bloated. I’ve got a buildup of smelly gas I’ll climb back on the sleigh where foul wind I will pass Santa sprinkled magic moon dust into my wide eyes So, I won’t recall what's happened; Santa is very wise Papa carried me upstairs to snugly tuck me into my bed where I dream of saving Santa in his wooly suit of red Early next morning, I spy sled marks in deep snow drifts Santa Claus has visited, and left me piles of fancy gifts I tell Papa all about my dream of rescuing Santa Claus I see sooty footprints on the rug, I think I know the cause!
