Santa Had a Panic Attack

*Inspired by Edward Ibeh's wonderful poem titled Sniffing Flowers: Santa had a panic attack! There was too much to do Too little time Presents piled up, lists overflowed, Too much stress, too many requests! Too little time The weather didn’t look good The reindeer didn’t feel well Rudolph’s nose wasn’t so bright Mrs. Clause said, “Wait a minute” “It is not Christmas yet!” “Sit down and have some cocoa.” Then she took his hand, They walked to the pond nearby They asked the elves to come along They brought some skates and music too They told everyone to take a break While the reindeer rested They skated with glee, to a nice melody Santa felt calm and then he could see, He had let his mind take off on him Like the sleigh in the sky He knew everything would be ok, When he stopped worrying why!
