Santa's On a Diet

Santa's on a diet
Mama said even too 
papa should try it
Santa can't have cookes
no more they say

Santa's on a diet
night and day
He must not eat of sugar
His reindeer will run and cry
if he gets any bigger

His jolly old belly
is not of just jelly 
He must refrain
of fats and sweets
Or getting in the slay will 
may require a crane

So day by day 
he must get firm and fit
for mama says 
They'll  throw him in the coal pit

He is no longer now
that same heavy old guy
we used to know
He's now on diet
of low and chelesteroooooll

So if you see a 
a cute older guy
in a furry red suit with 
gleeming eyes
who isn't now so shy
It could be him
he's now so fit and trim.

Love this poem, Linda! Really laughed when I read how they might need a crane to get Santa in his sleigh. Actually, I kind of like the thought of him being "a cute older guy." Shyness fades as your gain more confidence in your appearance. Bet he'll be kissing mama underneath the tree this year as curious eyes watch in delight. Great work! Love, carolyn
