Notes About The Poem

Have you been good or bad?

It's twenty-one December
And there's not a drop of snow
Gone all the whiteness
Fallen several days ago

Appearing once again the leaves
That I did not yet rake
Santa will be disappointed
So I'll bribe him with some cake

In four days he is coming
I know he's flying to my house
I was bad for not yet raking
He's bringing presents for my spouse

His flying sleigh will come around
With eight deer pulling hard
Rudolph the red-nosed in the lead
He's flying weather guard

Even though I'm growing older
I still believe in Santa Claus
Stories I was told when young
Still makes me stop and pause

I make this wish to Santa
As he flies on Christmas eve
Bring peace and love to everyone
Before it's over and you leave
