Saint Nick

There once was the cheeriest fellow Who ran a gargantuan toy workshop Gone by the name of Saint Nick Throughout the calendar year He would cram day and night To keep up with the countdown When the time finally came He’d get overly zealous Rounding up his team of reindeer To perform the impossible feat So around the world they would go Delivering the mountains of toys To every boy and girl who’d been good And not naughty every day of the year No matter how often we’d stay up Christmas Eve Santa managed to drop by in the time of a wink Woof down a couple of cookies with a sip of milk How sad that we managed to miss him each trip AP: Honorable Mention 2021 Posted on December 14, 2018

I enjoyed this....reminds me when our uncle asked us if we could hear the sleigh bells. We were afraid to say no.

Santa is probably the most talented individual in existence when it comes to speed. Wonderfully cheery.

Before the kids went to bed we'd leave a couple of cookies and a small glass of whiskey, my wife always had the cookies lol. Tom.

And Santa had the whiskey! Very clever, Tom. I bet Santa never missed your house from year to year.

Kids are so innocent and believing. I remember checking to see if the cookies and milk were actually gone. They always were. My older brother enjoyed! Very cute poem Line! : )
