Rockin' Santa Santa is coming. Make sure doors are locked. He’s driving wild reindeer and he’s doing the “rock”. Half the presents were left at North Pole but he didn’t care with still “rock” in his bowl. On Donner ! On Blinkie ! Aah ! Who can remember names ? Santa had the “rock” and his brain was aflame. Crashing into skyscrapers, missing towers so narrow, Santa took a toke and straightened like an arrow. Inside, I wrapped presents. Outside, it was cold when something hit the roof like out of control. I threw on my coat, dashed into my sandals. Surprised ! I saw Santa with a fifth of Jack Daniels. He said “Christmas is over. I’m stoppin’ the clock and headin’ ‘cross town where there’s plenty of rock.” I said “Santa, this is Christmas. You don’t need any scandals. On your feet soldier !” And took the fifth of Jack Daniels. I helped him to the sled and his head seemed to clear. He twinkled and said “Thanks, I’ll make Christmas this year.” He was gone in an instant, ‘tho unsteady in his manner. But with rock “off” his brain, we’ll have Christmas from Santa. Sometimes what’s needed to free one man from moments of madness is one helping hand but hold back, hesitate, refuse or spurn and there’ll be no hand extended when it’s your turn ! Namyh |

Lindsay – Santa is a guy who’s got a big job to do. He’s got to keep the North Pole running the whole year, maintain manufacturing, support and house an elves work staff and prevent reindeer from becoming an endangered species, especially that red-nosed one. It’s enough to drive anyone crazy. And since we are all vulnerable to frailties, I decided to cut Santa a little slack but I still kept the Jack Daniels. So very glad this put a delight in your day. Thanks Linday. |

Mysteria – When Santa's sleigh hit the roof that night, I just remembered that I did not here that “Ho-Ho-Ho”. Thanks for reminding me Mysteria and thanks for your enjoyment. Namyh |
