A Christmas Surprise
A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE
SANTA AND RUDOLPH WERE ON THE SAME PAGE,
WERE BOTH GETTING OLDER, AND RESPECTED
EACH OTHER’S AGE,
THEY HAD BEEN TOGETHER FOR EVER AND EVER,
AS FAR BACK AS THEY COULD REMEMBER!
THEY’D GONE THROUGH RECESSIONS REAL BAD,
THRIVING ECONOMIES WHEN PARENTS SPENT LIKE MAD,
THEY TOURED THE WORLD ONCE A YEAR,
SANTA HOWEVER HAD A SECRET FEAR,
THAT HE AND RUDOLPH WOULD SOON BE REPLACED,
THEY WERE BOTH PREPARED AND BRACED!
THE AUTHORITIES SOON CAME KNOCKING ON
THE DOOR, YOUNG RUDOLPH, WAS TO
TAKE DAD’S PLACE, AND MRS. SANTA, SANTA’S PLACE!
YOU COULD HAVE KNOCKED SANTA OVER WITH A FEATHER!
BEING SANTA’S WIFE, MRS. SANTA WAS USED TO
THE NORTH POLE AND ALL KINDS OF WEATHER,
AND SHE HAD OFTEN SNUCK INTO SANTA’S SLEIGH,
AND CERTAINLY KNEW HER WAY,
AROUND THE WORLD AS SHE ABOUT WHIRLED,
OVER EVERY CONTINENT, EVERY COUNTRY, AND ENJOYED
PACKING PRESENTS WITH HER HUSBAND, WRAPPED
AND READY FOR CHRISTMAS DAY!
WOMAN ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD EXCLAIMED SANTA,
TO HIS PIXIES, ELVES AND 8 REINDEER,
BUT HE SAID IT WITH A HUGE BEAM ON HIS FACE,
FOR BOTH HE AND SHE LOVED THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE.
HE WAS SO PROUD OF HIS WIFE WHO WAS A CENTURY
YOUNGER, SHE WOULD DO HIM PROUD,
SANTA SHOUTED OUT LOUD,
AFTER ALL, SHE CAME FROM THE SAME PEDIGREE!
AS FOR RUDOLPH HIS SON IS GOING TO FLY THIS
CHRISTMAS EVE,
LOOK OUT FOR HIM AND MRS SANTA TOO
AND DON’T FORGET THE HOT COCOA
AND A BISCUIT OR TWO!
