Trouble for Santa! Santa radioed in to say Christmas Eve wasn’t going well Two Reindeer had the flu and Santa slid from a roof and fell He scared a young child in Boise Got bitten by a dog in Seattle He got so flustered he even Gave a teen in Chicago a rattle! The Elves decided to give him A welcome home surprise They giggled as they built A sight for poor Santa’s eyes. Mrs. Claus shook her head in wonder At the creation she saw in the yard The Elves worked into the evening Thinking gift giving was really hard! Santa warned them he was arriving As his sleigh came in to land So every Elf worker rushed outdoors Greeting Santa with a marching band! Santa looked down and saw The welcome sign the Elves had made Bright lights and glitter adorned it With silver and gold inlaid It stood twenty feet into the air Arched like a rainbow in the sky And as the sleigh approached the site Suddenly the Reindeer started to shy They swerved this way and that way Throwing Santa to the floor of the sleigh They bobbed and twirled, got tangled up Til not one was going the same way. The Elves, tumbling over each other Grabbed a trampoline from the shop Screaming for Santa to jump Til they heard a horrendous pop! Santa dove from the sleigh as it landed On the roof of the workshop shed And Santa, poor Santa fell In a snow bank right on his head Mrs. Clause ran to him quickly To make sure he was all right The Elves stood watching in horror Gasping with horrible fright Santa rose from the snow slowly And turned to his Elfin staff Then suddenly everyone smiled As Santa began to laugh! They laughed til their sides hurt As they gathered the mess they made Ever after this night was known As Santa’s Terrible Escapade! Note: This is a repost of a poem I wrote in 2000. It was a challenge poem from Michael's son who is all grown up now. Time flies...as does Santa. |

Cheerful & fun! Even Santa has his tribulations! 88's friend  She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Thank you for the smiles! This was real fun to read. I think it is as fresh as it was in 2000. Love and joy. Margherita |
