Twas days before Christmas
and all through the house
I was up late blogging
Quiet as a mouse
The children were nestled
All snug in their beds
While I blogged on WordPress
About days ahead
Me in my jammies
and wearing a sock monkey cap
I was just wracking my brain
before taking a nap
When out on the lawn
There arose such a clatter
I sprang from my chair to see
What was the matter
Up from my desk
I quickly did rise
Spilled coffee on paperwork
Sure hope that dries!
The moon on the breast
of the fresh Seattle rain
Made me grab for the arthritis rub
Oh wow the pain!
When what to my wondering
eyes should I see
Santa and his reindeer
looking right back at me!
Santa was such a great driver
so lively and quick
It was like my Nissan Juke in Sport Mode
Nah, he didn’t know that trick!
More rapid than eagles
those flying reindeer came
And I didn’t hang around to listen
as he called them by name
I ran from my second floor
down to my first
Shouting, “It’s a gas fire-place Santa!
the burn will sure be the worst!”
Santa was already placing
packages under my tree
and gave a jolly old laugh
when he caught sight of me
He spoke not a word
as he continued his work
I was amazed I wasn’t on his naughty list
this year I had been such a jerk!
At this point I was wondering
Is this all a joke?
When face down in drool
I opened my eyes and awoke
Still sitting at my desk
my “add new post” blank
It was all a dream
my imagination to thank
When I am blogging away
even Santa comes into sight
Merry Christmas friends and fellow bloggers
wishing you joy, peace and words to write!
