~ NO COOKIES FOR SANTA ~
At our house
We never left cookies on a plate
"But DAD!!!!" I protested ...
"I thought, it was cookies Santa ate!!
Dad would always tell me
"OH, Not So .....
Trust me
This is something I know"
"All the other kids leave out cookies
And it's true, cookies taste yummy
But, Santa needs something more nourishing
To fill up his tummy"
Well, he WAS my Dad
And it was Dad I trust
If it's a sandwich Santa wanted
Then make a sandwich I must
Sooooooo
He would tell me what to fix
"Santa would like ham on rye
With a slice of tomato,
Lettuce AND Mayo"
That's what DAD said, don't ask ME why
Off I'd go into the kitchen
And start to prepare
(I tried not to make too much of a mess)
This wonderful, big sandwich ......
EXTRAORDINAIRE
I'd put it on a plate
And cold milk in a tall glass
I would run off to bed
I wanted this night to hurry up and pass
Then in the morning even before the gifts
I would check that plate
The sandwich was all gone
And a note was there that said .....
"THANKS!! That sandwich tasted GREAT!!"
I'd start jumpin' up and down ....
"HE ATE IT !!! HE ATE IT !!!!"
Because I thought it was so neat
Dad ALWAYS knew
Just exactly what Santa liked to eat
:-)
