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
