Christmas Eve Dilemma
CHRISTMAS EVE DILEMMA
Twas the night before Christmas and Santa was stressed.
He complained to his wife but she wasn’t impressed.
It’s going to rain dear, she called from the door.
Santa said ho ho ho, I’ve heard that joke before
No, tonight’s Christmas Eve; it’s my big night you know
And the forecast of course says it’s going to snow.
Now I have to set out rather early this time,
For the reindeer are two hundred years past their prime.
Poor old Comet can no longer shoot across space
And Vixen is slower, she just can’t keep pace.
Blitzen doesn’t light the sky, Dancer cannot dance.
While Prancer with arthritis, can no longer prance
Even poor Rudolph, bless him, has no shiny nose.
If you ever saw it, you wouldn’t say it glows.
So no longer able to pull a loaded sled,
They can retire and I’ll go electric instead
