The Day After Christmas

Twas the day after Christmas Throughout the North Pole, Not a creature was working Not one Ho! Ho! Ho! The elves were at home They had the day off Santa was gone To Hawaii, to play golf A little R and R With his island wahine Displaying her snow globes In her Christmas bikini Mrs Claus was visiting Family back east And the reindeer were grazing On their tropical feast When all of a sudden Out on the back nine His cart left the path Cause he'd gone snow blind All of the golfers Caddies and guests Came running with cell phones Photographing the mess There in the sand pit Was Santa red faced His wahine on his lap It was such a disgrace But Santa took names For next year's big list If you weren't in Hawaii "I'm sorry, you missed" December 25 Wahine: pronounced /wa he' ne Daniel Turner

Great rhyme and so creative, Daniel. A most fun read that truly shows off your imagination. Congrats on 10th. This is my 1st day on Soup since 12/24 am so I'm eager to do, see, read and write and, and ... I've had a great year so far and hope you have, too. It is okay that the Cowboys lost. Did you have your black eyed peas? Happy New Year XO ... CayCay
