Corners holding boxes for boxes to hold toys
Early bed for boxes and early bed for toys
4.00 am will do fine for the box bugle call
Mother's on the menu, Dad feels he's doing it all

Santa cleans his heavy boots
Shining in fire light
Always on the hoof but he can't afford to be tight

Big sack on his back
Lighter as it oughta

Because Santa for tonight is only drinking water

Oh...
Dave!

This speaks to me
of the one night
that some parents
put aside their
presumed needs/vices
for the love
of bright morning eyes...

Well done, Sir!

Grin Enjoyed this - especially the ending -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
