No Need To Despair

The kids came out on every block and in the streets they began to flock They were in a state of panic, a state of shock As they faced their darkest fear There would be no presents this year! The news spread quickly to the North Pole There would be no deliveries to a single soul Covid had shut all operations down And poor old St Nick broke down But the the elves were up to the task They worked through the night to make masks Masks were given to all the reindeer Even Rudolph, whose mask had a hole in there So his nose would glow, no need to despair With a bottle of sanitizer in his sleigh Santa Claus was on his way! 12-5-2020

Your poem is cute and a delight to read, Joseph. Thank goodness the elves were able to make the masks. I wonder if the hole in Rudolph's mask made him more exposed to the virus. Nice work! Congratulations on your win and have a very Merry Christmas! Best wishes, Carolyn

"With a bottle of sanitizer in his sleigh, Santa Claus was on his way!" Hey, it's the only way to travel. Must not forget those masks either. This is cute. Your thoughts made me smile. :) Brandy
