Mrs Claus

Mrs. Claus was getting tired of it He was getting too fat and it would not fit Her fingers were bleeding from trying to sew him in Why does he get all the attention when I have to work on him? Oh, those elves making all that noise It is 2015, put up a sound barrier while making those toys Papa Claus knows I like to watch my “soaps” at twelve But with all that noise I just say, ‘What the hell!’ And the elves are afraid of reindeer, so no one helps a bit I have to feed them, water them, make sure their ready for their trip Rudolf’s nose is not always so bright; I have to shine it every night And when he has a cold, oh my goodness that gets old! But, I do it for the boys and girls Besides, I stamp my name on all those toys I maybe Santa’s sidekick But he would not get a thing done without me, not a lick! ©11/2/2015 Holly P. Moore
