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!
Aahh! 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 sleigh 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!

Pass me that bottle of jack, will ya?  Been hard getting in the Christmas mood this year, but I'll drink with ya!  Well, maybe I shouldn't drink but I'll at least try to be more festive.

Merry Christmas, Namyh.

Michael - Looks like I got here in the nick of time. This work was designed to elevate depressed Christmas moods, reinvigorate lingering festive deficiencies and promote the mass consumption of Yuletide libations ....especially Jack! So here's the bottle you requestered and it's a Bud that's just for you"! Thanks for spendin' a spell here in downtown Namyhville where Santa, elves and the reindeer come to play and where the Force is always with you! Ho! Ho! Ho! Namyh
