Sneaky Santa

It really is very shocking, 

when you start to think 

and you wonder how he does it 

and then vanishes in a blink. 

 

It feels a little creepy, 

when he is watching all year long 

and knows if we have been bad or good 

it says so in the song. 

 

Things seem strange you know, 

a man in a big red suit 

Sneaking in like a thief 

with a big red bag of loot. 

 

Santa is sneaky, 

it is like nothing you have known 

and yet you leave him out treats 

while he is breaking into your home. 

 

You know that I am kidding, 

and messing with your head 

ignore all my playful banter 

with every word I said. 

 

Santa is a cherished story, 

a child’s dearest friend 

 they write to him every year 

till next year comes again. 

 

Merry Christmas North Pole, 

to Santa, his elves, and deer 

here is to the holiday 

and lots of Christmas cheer.
