An Evening With The Claus

Santa's Spirit in us

Where fatso's by the fireplace

His wicked fingers teasing

A velvet suit shows ashes on

for yuling peoples pleasing

When awnings on a window top

reveal a shadow stalking

And presence through a livingroom

embark on children's stockings

That strolling down a corridor

will bring a puppy lapping

When Santa bends to pat him down

and calm him from his yapping

And move along to lend his toys

to all good girls and boys

Unloading what are gifts to bring

for promise and for joys

That every light we go to be

are Santa's for the cause

When Christmas Day means gifts to be

an evening with the Claus

tried to show Santa's spirit in all of us
