Well not quite a repost, because the poem contains 6 little drawings and as we are only allowed to put in 5 nowadays, I'll give you a link to where you may find it.

My father, who was an artist, used to make us little books with rhymes and drawings. This one is about the meeting of our Sinterklaas with your Santa on a night, a very dark night.

Hope you enjoy the reading. http://lookheretitia.fcpages.com/peek10.html

My father was an artist and he used to write and draw little stories for us

Sint Nicolaas verses Santa Claus

It was on a night a very dark night
Three weeks too late he came in sight
St. Nicolaas sneeked along the street
softly walking on tiptoeing feet

It was on a night a very dark night
Christmas bells ringing in star's light
Santa Claus quietly walking around
not aware of the tiptoeing sound

And on that night that very dark night
A collision!! they bumped real tight
Stars and packages flew everwhere
Won't tell the curses but they were there

Santa shouted 'Why are you here
At Christmas I'm in charge you hear"
But Sinterklaas who was quite feared
Pulled suddenly at Santa's beard

And Santa, nobody wondered why,
took a swing at Sinterklaas's eye
And Sinterklaas? Well he just sighed
on that night that very dark night

So in the twinkling of the stars
you could see this poor man's scars
All his packages scattered around
took a while before all was found
Santa well he choosed for the better
and did write to Sinterklaas a letter

"Dear St. Nicolaas, my good friend
all that is broken will be mend
but I will warn you for next year
don't dare showing up in my time here"

LOL ~Applauds~ That was great xD

(Invading KoKo's space to help get the last wonderful graphic in line with the rest...

Thanks, KoKo... Happy Holidays

(giggles) Hehehe, hey, how come they can't share the holiday giving together, that is kind of selfish for Santa to say that if you ask me, after all, it's the time of giving and sharing! (smiles) This is delightful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Titia, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

All righty then - Here I am being a buttinsky... This is wonderful, Titia - and if you (or KoKo) isn't happy with my little "assist"... just let me know and I'll undo...

LOL Nan you're a genius, but maybe you could place the two last stanza's underneath the last picture?

How come I didn't think of that, using space from Mommy Muys

Thanks dear friend, Titia

Titia, I'm so glad that Nan was able to post your Dad's pictures with your poem. I thought for sure that I left a reply before I went to look at your link last night. LOL I just noticed that I didn't!!

But, now I have!!

I absolutely love this, Titia!!

And give Muys a hug for me, too.
