Lost and Found 1


Someone help me please, 
I feel so lost,
The snow is deep, 
The streets are dark,
Unfriendly people 
Come at a cost,
I left my red scarf 
As a mark,
It’s gone,
But so sleepy, thought,
I’d have a nap,
Last I remember,
Is my yawn!
Has been a busy night, 
Santa and Rudolph 
Will miss me,
To make sure, 
Will tie my
Shoe around this snow
Adorned acorn tree!
Only a short snooze, 
For I fear and dread,
To be left behind,
What would lay
For me ahead?
A villager passing from 
A nearby farm,
Heard my sleepy voice
And from beneath 
A pile of snow 
Saw my blue sleeved arm,
And one tiny 
Shoeless foot,
Half frozen,
The man knew 
He had no choice,
But to awaken me,
For I’d surely freeze,
If left there, 
In this bitter breeze!
A hot glass of milk, 
A buttered bun,
Sounded to me, 
To be a lot more fun!
I’m lost, sadly sang the elf,
Santa and Rudolph
And the gang,
Must have taken off,
I fear to see a 
Wolf with fang,
What should I do, 
Will you help me?
Address North Pole 
Is all I know!
Villager and elf walked on
Hand in hand,
Leaving footsteps in the
Fluffy snow like sand, 
The stranger seemed
So kind,
Was this villager 
Assigned?
Of course he was, 
And with a spin
And whirl we found 
Distraught Santa,
Inside his house 
Beside his spouse,
Address, North Pole!
A miracle Santa declared,
And looked around
But there was no one there!
