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

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
