Santa's Little Worrier

I lie alone this eve, in the dark
watching from mama's fire place, glittering spark.
I a wait'on fur what seemed like ages
as in ma mind my anticipation rages.

How will that feller get down mama's chimney
He is so far from what folks call skinny
Will I have to call for him that there emergency team
Oh what if  his suit busts at the seam

That jolly old Christmas fellow 
will he scream, yell and bellow
as he lands amongst that soot
As he descends from our roof

Well I've waited fur furever, well for soooo long
I'd better, to keep a wake--- sing a Christmas song
The words of Santa's reindeer come quickly to ma mind
Gosh I hope he don't burn his behind...

I can see why the newspaper published this one, Linda. You sure know how to look at the world through a child's eyes, and the last line's a hoot! Great work and congratulations on its publication! I'll bet everyone enjoyed it. Love, Carolyn
