Santa's New Chair

You jolly old man who's travelled all night. Come sit and rest awhile, I'm sure it will be alright. You've distributed toys to all those girls and boys Now come take a seat, and rest your weary feet. I'll rock you awhile and a melody sing, You may fall asleep while the Christmas bells ring. And when you awake you can have a piece of cake. And when you arise There will be a big surprise. Yes Santa, look to the right. What an amazing sight. For sitting over there, Is your brand new chair. I've been here for years, and there's no need for tears Now I can take a rest, And still serve your guest!

Marty, send me some lines to add to the football poem! It's not too late; I'd like to mention more teams and didn't know which members liked football. Some of us chat about the sport from time to time. I'm at seafaress8@aol.com Love, Carolyn
