Jolly Man

A poem about Christmas

 

Jolly Man

 

 

The jolly man kicks open the door with a BOOM!

As ho ho ho’s tumble into the room.

The silly dressed tinies scatter out of his way

As he dances his jig letting his frothy beard sway.

“To the left to right,

Ho ho ho smile bright!

For all our hard work will bring much joy tonight!”

 

The elves nod agreements and join in his dance

While toy soldiers crawl and dolls wet their pants

“How silly these dolls!” Santa shouts with surprise

And the elves laugh so hard it brings tears to their eyes

Rosy cheeks hide his blushing as he stiffens and scowls

And the elves stop their laughing save one who still howls

 

They all turn their heads to see who it could be...

Why it’s Gidget the Loon! An elf from line three

Santa lets slip a howl of his own

Infectious his laughter and warm is its tone

The elves they all giggle heading back their places

Hammering on things and tying up laces

 

And so goes the night till the Misses Gives call

Prompting Santa to fly and fulfill his great cause

On Dasher and Dancer on Prancer and Vixen

On Comet on Cupid on Donder and Blitzen

He’s dashing away to deliver his toys

To all the good girls and good little boys

 

So if you’re lying in bed on any given Christmas Eve

And you hear a warm laughter burst out with a heave

Then you already know what you’ll find under the tree...

Why what else but a doll who in her pants has just peed!

Funny one. Thank you for entering this piece to A Christmas Poetic Story.
I can see that even Santa is not perfect. Hahaha!!! At least, he laughed at the mistakes he and his elves did. :D
Good luck!
