Where's Santa
It's getting near
that special time of year
when children try to be good
doing everything they should.
The turkey's cooking in the oven
made with grandmom's loving,
stuffing, cranberries and desert
ready for the grand alert.
A little sweet, a tempting treat
pumpkin pie and minced meat?
Gather all the uncles, aunts and cousins
family bonded by hunger and loving.
over quick, full and well stuffed
each seeks comfort and rest fluffed
having devoured and shared the memories best
but children are still wondering on their quest.
Lists and presentation ready for the next feast
of lights, wrapping, parades and decorated trees
and a visit by the jolly red suited phantom,
the anticipated arrival of Santa.
