Self-Motivated Santa--Bawdy, Revised

St. Nick took his little blue pill,
then lay there, prepared for a thrill.
He wasn’t aware
his wife wasn’t there.
The chance of  "Ho ho ho" was nil.

SO cute, Janice. The beat was just a tiny bit off in last line or this would have been a sure second to Jan's first place. BIG congrats on your win and Merry Christmas.
