Joyce Johnson Poet Light Verse

Santa's Welfare

I've been measuring our chimney
And checking on the flue.
The last time I saw Santa
He was too fat to get through.
I wrote a note to Mrs. Santa
Telling her I thought that she
Should put Santa on a diet,
But she hasn't answered me.
I won't be leaving cookies,
Diet cola should be fine
To satisfy his thirst and
I don't think he should dine
On candy, cakes and cookies
Until the job is done.
I wouldn't want him to get stuck
And spoil some children's fun.
So if he should get to your house
Before he gets to mine,
Just remember fat and sugar free
At his age is just fine.

Andrea Dietrich December 30, 2009 at 12:46 PM Joyce, I had a feeling this was from you when I saw it in my hotmail. I never can leave something unfinished and I will read anyone's very last mail and comment back!! thanks for your sweet comment. I have many poems that I hope to leave here in the future and I am sure you also have many more for me to see! LUv, andrea by the way, you should make a chapbook of humorous poetry!
