Madness overtakes us each year Earthbound children dream of Santa Riding across the starry night Right to their house, a present Yielding, Rudolph-guided sleigh. Calorie-rich cookies and cakes Harbinger of hurtful tummies Radiant, expectant children's faces Imaginative, unspoiled by truth that Santa really is dear Uncle Fred Tanked on too much spiked eggnog and Merry songs and mountains of food And watching Tiny Tim one more time Santa is a wonderful apparition. To all eager children the world Over Santa sends his love to you. All is calm, all is at peace Loving mom, excited children Learns dad is home from Iraq. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

I've always liked acrostic poems. Nice message on this one. Peace. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Reminds me of the times, when dad’s away for many days travelling and would return for a festive season. Little pleasures costing little to nothing, fine writing. Jerry.  "Hardwork pays in the long run" |
