Junior Steps In- Nbc2

'Twas the night before Christmas' ole Saint
Nick was ready to go,
He round up the reindeer and said" Ho, Ho, Ho."
Santa and the gang were on their merry way.
And there was a lot of the toys in the sleigh.
Santa stopped at the first house on his list,
He got stuck in the chimney and broke his wrist.
Rudolph and the team were in disarray,
They didn't even know what to do or say.
Santa's magic wouldn't even work that night,
They had to think fast and make things right.
They called dispatch at the north pole,
EMT's came quick, rescuing him their only goal.
They got him out in no time,but he was in a bad way,
Who could fill in for Santa? Maybe his brother Clay?
"Get Jr, He's next in line to take my place."
Said ole Saint Nick.  Junior left without trace,
many years ago, how would they find him?
They searched and searched it looked grim.
All of a sudden Junior showed up out of nowhere,
He said, "Save Christmas popped in my mind
and I came here."
The reindeer stared at him, he wore a onesie
with the tooth fairy on it,
Santa had an extra suit in the sleigh, and it fit.
Saint Nicholas retired right then their on sight,
Junior was able to save Christmas that night.
