Santa In Florida

Santa in Florida By Elton Camp In Florida, Christmas ain’t so grand Santa’s sleigh won’t slide on sand And not many children there stay Most of the folks are old and gray Santa’s thick, red suit will be right To keep away the mosquito bite Children have to leave him a Coke On its foul water, he would choke In land that’s so flat and swampy The old elf just has to feel grumpy After Florida, Santa’s not seen later He got swallowed by an alligator

Ha-Ha!!! Northerners can't relate to this, Elton, but I surely can. Did you get some snow in early January last year? The photos people took made the news for three days even though it was just a dusting for most of us. Cool commentary on Florida's dreadful tasting water and I laughed out loud thinking of Santa being "swallowed by an alligator." Great poem! Goes to my faves. Love, Carolyn
