The Santa Correction

by Michael Dowdin - Not entered

I wrote a poem earlier about Santa.
My head was somewhere in Atlanta.

It was not about his red sleigh.
Nor about how much he weigh.

What I meant to say was his sled.
The midnight shift emptied my head.

I was eating a large piece of cheese.
That caused me to loudly sneeze.

I must give up this tired occupation.
And reevaluate my bad situation.

I have been here too many years.
Drying these bucket of tears.

Hoping that Santa will land nearby.
Even getting a ride on a black fly.

"Santa, think of me as your katydid."
"Clear my head to keep my lid."

"I promise to be quiet and be good."
"And do all the things like I should."

"Then you can bring me my toys."
"Cute little girls and little boys."

"I like a diamond; I'm not Maude."
"However, I will take Jean Claude."

"Maybe, Stedman, Bill, and Larry King,."
"Fabio, John John; Bolton, he can sing."

"I am getting ridiculous; right now."
"Just send me a dog; bow wow."

"Then I won't make any more mistakes."
"And just pull up my long worded stakes."

Reason for writing:

    This is a correction to the poem, The Dazed Santa. I enjoy writing
poetry, even to clarify what I meant to say. Have a Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year.  "A smile is worth a million."  Marva L. Dowdin
