Mrs Santa Claus

Mrs. Santa Claus sleeps in bed alone
One night of every year
While her husband flies around the world
Spreading the Christmas cheer

She throws an extra blanket on the bed
Just for Christmas Eve
Knowing it will be cold this night instead
When Santa Claus takes his leave

She trusts Rudolph and the other reindeer
To keep him safe in flight
She dresses him in his suit of red
To keep him warm throughout the night

She doesn’t pack him any snacks
There will be cookies in every house
She rubs oil on the shoes he wears
So he can be quiet as a mouse

Every kid in the world wants a visit from him
And what a wonderful job he does
But the woman who misses him most that night
Is the dutiful Mrs. Claus

I enjoyed reading your beautiful poetry this morning Joe. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I am going to see if I can write something for a couple contests this weekend. Hope you find the inspiration to do the same. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. Love, Carol
