A Very Covid Christmas

Santa, Dear Santa, I just wrote to say
leave the gifts on the doorstep, stay six feet away.
This building's on lockdown, you can't come inside.
I asked for an exemption, believe me , I tried.

Groups of more than six, ( that's the reindeer and you)
are against regulations. Not fair , but it's true.
And there may be some fines coming your way
as you didn't self quarantine , not for two weeks , or a day.

Maybe you should stay home and binge watch T.V.
At least that way you'll remain covid-free.
It may just be best, Santa, if we give you a list 
that Amazon can deliver, but just know, you'll be missed.

I can just picture poor Santa binge-watching TV on Christmas. At least he's obeying the guidelines. Love this witty write, Francine! Congratulations on a first-place win. Hugs and best wishes for a merry Christmas, Carolyn
