Jolly Saint Nick

It was late Christmas Eve
When awakened by a noise
I was hoping it was Santa
With a hefty bag of toys

Peeking from my bedroom
Caught a vision really wild
Santa covered all in tinsel
And giggling like a child

He spun around the floor
As if nothing else to lose
Stripped down to his boxers
Wearing ballerina shoes

Still whirling like a dervish
I guess he couldn't see
After tripping on the sofa
He crashed into our tree

But still he kept on laughing
As though a great big joke
He then lit up his pipe
And blew out a cloud of smoke

There was such a pungent odor
I could tell it wasn't holly
It smelled like Maui Wowie
No wonder he's so jolly

Thanks Andrea, who knew Santa was such a hemp hog. I guess when you only work one day a year, you have a lot of time to watch TV and get high. Thanks again for the feedback baby sister. Happy holidays.

Thanks Joseph. Ol' Santa gets the best pipe weed around, though his love of magic mushrooms is what really puts a smile on his face. Happy holidays.
