Notes About The Poem

Toasty Santa

Down came jolly Santa, lickety-split
not checking to see if a fire was lit.
He shot out of the chimney
while dancing a fast shimmy-
His job is oft harder than he'll admit!

I really appreciate your wit and humor, Evelyn. Santa Claus surely needs to go shopping for some clothing that will withstand flames. Best wishes for the holiday season!

Really amusing and clever, Evelyn. A smart Christmas piece. Santa needs to buy a fire-resistant outfit quick. Happy Holidays!...ab
