Off the sled
On the night before Christmas got here,
Santa relapsed, got into the beer.
You might think he’s a saint;
after twelve, though, he ain’t.
On a rampage, he shot up the deer.
Only Rudolph did make an escape;
the elves bandaged him up with some tape.
To get out of the mess,
they called up UPS,
“Can Brown please get us out of

We Kids Sled
We kids sled
past the home of so-long-ago.
We kids wear
snow-black boots and warm
mittens. We kids sled,
on a cold sunny day,
across the Vale’s backyard;
Old-timers let
us kids sled
through flurried laughter,
cheeks frozen-red,
and out all day,
it seemed.
What was Mom doing,
I wonder? I wish I could
dust off the

Red Cheeks on a Sled
She discovered sledding when she was three or four
We used to put her on with us, but then she got independent
I think she was five and a half when she wanted to “go alone”.
I am big, she told us. Not to us, but we allowed it.
She did not want to come in for hot chocolate

Sleepy Girl
A sleepy little girl once said
she’d like to stay at home in bed
they said she’d miss the fun
with sledding just begun
so she jumped up quickly instead

The Sled Driver
once an aged cab driver named fred
whose snout shined very dainty red
got a call from a bar
placing an elf in car
making him escort santa's sled

One Winter
One Winter
David J Walker
It is a drifter
Named winter
Who never
Keeps promises
One winter
I moved into an igloo
In the front yard
But only for an afternoon until
Mother called us in for hot cocoa
I loved to sled
I loved to stand at the window pain
And watch freezing rain turn to snow
Making me think of sledding
And

The Sleds They Go
We used to walk through the winter snow,
Our feet treading high, we are stomping our way.
My sister was by my side. We were ready to have the fun we know,
She holds my hand as we cross the bridge.
We walked up the hills to the top of its peak.
Our

Covered Sled
I remember how it felt to be
Roused from my cozy bed,
To be driven to our country school
In that big covered sled.
Daddy hitched it to his favorite team,
His powerful Prince and Teddy,
With drifts of snow where cars can't go,
That valiant pair was ready.
We had a little kerosene stove
And robes so thick and warm,
To keep us from

The Orange Slipper Sled
Winters in Kansas have deep snow
One Christmas my "Bro" and I got
A present given to us both
Which then it seemed happened a lot!
It was an orange plastic sled
But we thought about a cool stunt
Using cardboard and some stiff wire
We made a cover for the front
It looked like an orange slipper
But for

Santa's Silent Sled
Santa’s Silent Sled
Santa's silent sled slid slowly over the soft snow
Over the soft snow Santa's silent sled slowly slid.
If the soft snow on which Santa slid his slow sled
Melted, how would Santa slowly slide his silent sled?

My Celestial Sled
I was looking at the starry sky
When past a comet sped.
Oh, how I wished I could
Attach to it a sled.
I'd hurtle through the universe
Such things would I see,
Planets never seen before
And distant galaxies.
I could watch a super nova
Dodge pulsars cosmic rays,
And marvel at planetary rings
As I toured the milky way.
I could fly through a nebula
As

Sled Dog
Wind whipped his face, the dogs, they ran
Across bleak-white ice and snow,
Paid in cash by Rand McCorchoran
To Dawson, he would go.
Delivering mail, medicine, and booze
To a town still on the grow,
Earning tips from richer folk
Prospectors flush with gold
But the briefest hint of red arose
Catching his cold glance,
Broke the passage of the miles
Broke the driver’s trance.
The

Sparky Steals the Sled
Winter knocking at my door bringing its presence
Trees boughs drooping with weight of its omnipresent
Crystal flakes glide down from heaven unspoiled and white
Very quietly alight in the silent night
Noses and cheeks left frozen with its crimson touch
Our knees knocking and teeth chattering they won’t hush
With its ambiance brought considerable fun
Sleds are out for a
