SANTA BARES HIS SOUL
Oh how I wish
Christmas was every day.
I love to see the
smiling faces
of children
happily at play.
The joy
I bring to others
puts a twinkle
in my eye,
and makes
my big round belly
feel awfully full.
When I fill
my sled
with toys
for all
the girls and boys,
wondrous images
begin dancing about
in my sleepy
snow covered head.
My reindeer
don’t mind
the long hours
and many miles
they dutifully travel
cause at every stop
along the way
there are
carrot sticks
and cookies
to keep their
hunger at bay.
I love my job,
and would never
leave it for
more money
or better perks
cause everyone
loves me
and no one
calls me
a jerk.
