Rockin' Santa

When Santa almost lost Christmas. Glad I was there.

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 his 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!

Graml - Given Santa’s perilous flight over skyscrapers and narrow missing of towers plus the self-induced mental fog he was undergoing while singing bawdy songs in slurred German, I don’t think he knew if it was Donnen or Blitzen or Comet or Alf. But it seemed to work out okay ‘cause after years of waiting, I finally got my ’57 Captain America pellet gun with optional whistle. The red one! Hallelujah! I'll keep that band Idea in mind and thanks Gram for enjoying. Namyh

I loved this it made me laugh and still managed to have a thoughtful message at the end. It would be a terrible thing if a tiddly Santa fell out of his sleigh at 10,000 feet! :)

Skiish - Santa is a guy who’s got a big job to do. He’s got to keep the North Pole running, upgrade manufacturing, support an elves working staff, maintain public relations and prevent reindeer from becoming an endangered species, especially that one with the red nose and then deliver 364 days of work in one night. Whew! So with a helping hand I cut Santa some slack even when he fell off the wagon and out of that sled onto my roof from 30 feet up. So very happy this inspired you for the holidays and I saw your name on his list of goodies.LOL. Thanks skiish for dropping in to enjoy. Namyh

P.S. - I wonder how much that Jack Daniels bottle is worth on Ebay. Hmmmmmm! Don't tell Santa!
