~I SPENT THE EVENING WITH SANTA~

I heard all this ruckus at my neighbors
late one Christmas Eve
I looked up on his roof......
WOW...
Was that Santa up there?
But, was he just arriving or trying to leave?

All I saw was an arm
sticking out of the chimney
holding onto a bag of toys
He was not moving
I just heard a lot of noise


So, into my garage I went
to get my ladder
Climbed up onto the roof
I could hear his muffled chatter

Finally he yelled really loud
and all I could make out......
"HELP!!!!!! ....
TOO MANY COOKIES
HAVE MADE ME MUCH TOO STOUT!!"

I just began to think....
"Oh No....what luck
Poor Santa is really stuck!!"

Well, I grabbed his arm
and pulled with all my might
WHOOSH!!!!!!
Out he came.....
"Santa" I said,
"You really need to do something
about that tummy and tush"


He told me he agreed.....
People are making chimneys smaller
Then he said,
"Thank You, I'm sure glad
you heard me holler"


He went on to say......
"I am all done with my deliveries
except for one house more
It's your house ......
Can I come in through the door?"

So Santa came in
putting all the toys around the tree
And when he was all done
he said,
"No more cookies for me"


I told him....
"But Santa you're supposed to be
Fat and Jolly......"
He was determined....
"I'm losing weight, and I'll do it....
by gosh by golly!!"

He then reassured me
there was no need to worry....
"I'll lose only a little
'Cause Santa wouldn't be Santa
without my girth around the middle"

Well, that sounded like a plan
I truly believe
WOW....what a night that was
My time with Santa one Christmas Eve


OH....And by the way.....
There really IS a Santa...I saw him
What more can I say??
**BIG SMILE**
