Santa off to Minnesota

Santa is on the road, ready to fly.
It’s raining in Minnesota, no lie.
He scratches his snowy beard with a sigh.
Reindeer and  sleigh will not get very high.
Kids must get their gifts so he says goodbye
to Mrs. Claus and the elves that certify
the flight though it’s raining tonight. Red-eye
of chief elf unique, it breaches each sky.
Gifts must be delivered by North Pole guy.
It’s raining, no snow, unusual sky
with Minnesota travel that’s bone dry
of flurries. Request of Santa’s supply
though the weather is not frightful, no lie.

He came. He went. Cookies and milk bye-bye.

I head that the sled was held up by a bunch of elves chanting 'From the River to the Sea, That's how much we need to pee.' ~ee-hee

Oh no…shaking head. Perhaps some received their dues.

Lovely tribute to a Santa that will not be mute, got to get that future virtuoso her flute -- his mission...and love...unstoppable -- rain is reindeer mop-able. Mrs. Santa is very proud I would imagine. Merry Christmas to all the Kim loving clan. Blessings!
