A Hot Christmas Date

‘Twas the night before Christmas As I was getting ready for my hot date Putting on sexy lace, hoping he’s not late Hanging mistletoe and smiling as I wait I hear his car pull in, he’s now at my door I hope it’s a fun night, not sure what’s in store I open the door, as I say, it’s been awhile He’s dressed like an elf, with a killer smile I make a joke of his cute elf suit and shoes He tells me he’s working, not too amused He’s gives me a snow globe of the North Pole And says it's a magical place, touches his soul We move to the couch, enjoying appetizers and wine But keeps looking at his watch, keeping track of the time I ask if he needs to leave early, hoping he can stay the night He says he’s having a great time but must watch for his flight We walk to the kitchen and stand under the mistletoe I point up at it expecting a kiss, but instead a loud NO! His face suddenly beet red as his eyes swell up too Mistletoe, he is severely allergic to, I had not a clue He says he will not be able to work with Uncle St. Nick As he hands me his EpiPen, I give him the shot quick We suddenly hear a loud bang and crash on my roof As a man in a red comes down my chimney in a poof He yells up the chimney to Liza, Fred and Harriet too He says his reindeer don’t need to get stuck in the flue I ask about Comet, Prancer and Vixen, to name a few He says they retired decades ago, his reindeer are new He sees his nephew, passed out, beet red on my floor And tells me he needs my help as we head out the door I stumble as I get into his flashing Christmas sleigh As his new reindeer all line up ready to lead the way We are out all night delivering Christmas gifts Making sure we didn’t miss any on the list We head back to my home on Christmas day Where my date has been sleeping the night away He opens the door, and gives me a huge warm embrace As he thanks me for saving Christmas with a smile on his face He tells his Uncle he is planning to stay here another night And we’ll have our hot date as he winks and hugs me tight 11/23/19 Contest: The Night Before 2 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Joseph May
