Santa's Plight

Enters homes in the middle of night
doing his best to stay out of sight
with him a bag of toys
for little girls and boys
who screech in the morning with delight

Jolly old Saint Nick must be a sprite
Coming down the chimney would be tight.
Form his head to his foot
he is covered in soot
or singed by a fire burning bright
