Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

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

Carolyn Devonshire December 7, 2010 at 9:53 AM 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
