Santas' Gears

Christmas is in the air,
Santa is getting prepared,
Trying to fit into last years suit feels weird,
A little more weight that's what I feared,
Trying to get into his pants he tore the rear,
Getting into his jacket,rip,rip,arms tear,
Exposing Santa tall white hair,
Ho,ho,ho,I am not scared,
Snapping his fingers,Rudolph appears,
I have the best tailor in this hemisphere,
Hi,ho,away,I'm off to fix my gears,,,

That's hysterical. You are hillarious....Love your comments. I write a scarey serious poem....and you write "get out the pepper spray?" LOL I wrote a poem to my son called "Holiday Note" if you want to read it. I think I'm going to do it every year. It's just a simple little poem. Hugs, Holly Moore
