12/17/2024 for The Buddha meets Christmas Poetry Contest sponsored by Kai Michael Neumann

Santa sailed upon his sleigh and came upon Buddha one day, greeting him with a cry. Saying, I'm bringing toys to good girls and boys, as on this toboggan I fly. Yep, I'm a plump, jolly fairy, and will make children merry with things here in my sack. Oh, the joy they'll find when they have what they pined, and no longer lack. Santa, I crave nothing in your sled. My gift, you see, is wisdom instead, as I remain mindful. I don't seek Christmas merriment from a drink or intoxicant, however delightful. And so, two men of worth bore gifts for children here on earth. You must believe it! I only tell you this because that's the way it really was. How then, did they leave it? God bless you Buddha! I'll be on my merry way. Peace be with you Santa, Have a nice day!
