Coal-Filled Boots of Santa Claus
COAL-FILLED BOOTS OF SANTA CLAUS
Old Santa rose from in his bed, a deeply winter snooze
His bare feet touched the freezing floor, he called out for his shoes
An elf, her name was Kimberly came running to his side
“Yes sir” she answered with a laugh, one that she could not hide
She set the boots down on the floor by Santa’s frozen feet
Then looked out towards the vestibule to plan her quick retreat
When Santa placed his feet inside, he let out with a howl
Then shouted out to Kimberly, “You get in here right now!”
“Who put this coal inside my boots?” Kim’s silence she now broke
“Oh Boss, no need to be so mad, t’was just an elfin joke.”
Well Santa, being who he was now wore a happy smile
He said,” Oh Kim I am not mad.” They laughed a little while
“But now it’s time to get to work, the holidays are near
Though one last thing before we go, I’ll make this very clear
If one more time you pull this prank, get ready, here’s the twist
The elfin name of Kimberly, will top the naughty list.”
