Santa's Synchronized Trip

Don't worry my child if it is or not snowing,
be sure that old Santa will get where he's going.
Though he may prefer his fast reindeer and sleigh;
old Santa can surely come some other way.

There is just one rule that he'll always be keeping.
He only arrives when the children are sleeping.
So off now to bed and dream of the toys
he's bringing tonight to the good girls and boys.

You say you are worried?It cannot be right
that he travels the world in just one single night?
Well now don't you feel silly right down to your bones?
You forgot that you all live in different time zones.

He starts in the East and he goes towards the West.
He keeps up with the time change. Now aren't you impressed?
Each zone takes an hour and when he is done,
it's the very same time as when he had begun.

So hurry to bed now.Don't get Santa off track.
Or you might have to wait until he comes back.

Dear Joyce:

This is just delightful! It should be read to all children along with "The Night Before Christmas"!

Saving this to read to my Grandie Girlies when they get old enough to ask the question~

This is VERY CREATIVE !

I like the time zone explanation. Makes perfect sense to me. I certainly enjoyed reading and I'm sure that the children will also. Good job. -Bob

I'll surely be sharing this with the children I babysit for sometimes and my own should they ever decide to make an appearance on Earth

Very nicely written.

Dear Joyce

Just when I thought the last poem of yours was the best,
you seem to outdo yourself on the next....

By the way, was Santa's watch synchronized too!

Love Isobel
