Rum Dumb

RUM DUMB

Your presents will be late this year
But be patient    be of good cheer

Old Santa Claus has been delayed
He’s only human I’m afraid

Your presents    kids    will come    o.k?
They’re loaded on his big red sleigh

A victim of a lady’s wiles
He gave in to her fatal smile

But please    kids    don’t tell Mrs. Claus
This is the reason -  it’s because

When down her chimney old Nick come
She bated him with strong hot rum

Drunk on his butt    the ancient elf
You see    he just was not himself

He didn’t bed the evil minx
But only needed forty winiks

So    pillow-down your curly heads
When rooster crows    go back to bed

I dinna realize you'd posted so many writes, Daver! Rascally Santa, truly not the milk and cookie type! Yet to find "Lace Mary Jane". I'm sure it's on here somewhere. Not a gruelling task to search, I get to read some of your work along the way!! You really are a clever and industrious fellow!! Best wishes! Love, Mikki
