Santa said, "this is a bad time for you boys to get sick." "What on earth did you get into to cause you to lick?" "Toby, Wes, and Lee, "where have you three been?" "Sneaking off to see your lazy and bad breath kin?" "You have picked up this strange bug and odd virus." "When you should have been listening to Billy Ray Cyrus." Wes screamed, "no sir; we have been here at home." "Where you and mama have taught us to never roam." Santa asked Ivan, "son, where have you been?" "Well dad, it is like this; where can I begin?" "It would pay for you to start at the very beginning." "Then your behind will have no need for caneing." "Rod, Matt, Lee, and I got some of mama's mistletoe." "We made a bet that whoever got sick would be a foe." "Frankie and Michael too joined in on this silly bet." "That is why you see all of us under this blanket." Toby said sadly, "dad, we are very sorry for this." "We will be ready to go tonight; so don't hiss." "Yes, we took some medicine, "said troubled Wes. "It will correct this state of sickness and mess." Santa promptly said, "since you have been frank." "I will let this slide and you all; I will not spank." "Next time, I will not be so patient and kind." "Making marks on your sore and frail behind." Copyright (C) 1996 Marva L. Dowdin
Reason for writing:
Santa's reindeer have learned an important lesson about pranks and
telling the truth. It always pays off to tell the truth, no matter how bad
it may seem. We all have done things like this when we were young.
