A Christmas Memory

I still laugh when I look at the chimney.
It reminds me of a childhood Christmas where
my face was as black as soot,
as I tried to mimic Santa entering a house.

There was a little lamb, whose coat was black as soot. And everywhere the lamby went, his sooty foot he put.* (*I remember this from one of those British comedies...one of the Rons on TV) Your wonderful memory reminded me of it. Congrats on the win.
