Santa's Trip Way Up There

Santa’s Trip Way Up There Santa came to town to find some batteries for a comet mission Philea probe ran out of energy when landing on a duck shaped thing Its name is 67P/C-G and is very far away from Earth It took Rosetta space craft ten years to voyage there 322 million miles from here for what it’s worth Philea probe needs Santa and some luck this year To restore and to explore the speeding rock up there The mission calls for more than just a sled to save the mission Santa can’t run on milk and cookies any more A missile or rocket is needed to get him there by Christmas Athletes get athletes foot you know Santa, is now an astronaut, so He must get missile toe at Christmas Santa needs a power source for poor Philea soon It fell into a deep sleep for lack of energy Perhaps he should stop there first to give it batteries Santa and the probe might discover microbial life together Just one more comment I hope he finds at least one snowflake on the comet To remind him of our Christmas back on Earth You know; his home planet 11/23/14 “What's up with Santa” – Poetry Contest
