Santa May Be Late

'Twas the night before Christmas I had myself a beer Brushed off my apron It was time for cheer After all it’s Christmas eve Hear! Hear! It’s so exciting A lovely atmosphere Light fluffy snow Santa’s sitting here Sipping on hot coco He’s grinning ear to ear Comfy in his rocking chair And looking so cavalier Not worried by the time Same story every year He waits till the last minute Until I volunteer To pack a lunch and Call his every reindeer I remind him to make haste Grab his bag and gear Under children’s trees Presents don’t just appear So much to plan and do Fly through each hemisphere Unless he’s thinking Changing his career He better quick hit the road And best be on his merry way AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on November 21, 2019 for contest THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS sponsored by JOSEPH MAY - RANKED 3RD
