for the children…
—
Once upon a time
there lived a white-bearded man
he stayed at home
almost all year ‘round
yet as cold turned to freezing
and the villagers stayed in
he could be heard
strolling through the grounds
one year when it was frosty
his wife bought him a jacket
and fluffy boots
so warm and snug and new
he gave his wife a kiss of thanks
and set out to spread good cheer
but it was snowing
and his face was almost blue
he climbed into silted chimneys
and left presents far and wide
to spread happiness
to children who’d been down
Mr. Claus earned a reputation
in his village and beyond
as being someone,
as being something of a Saint
his reputation spread
and so too did his name
the name Santa, Santa Claus,
would earn him fame
Santa repeated his kind gesture
each and every year
and bought a reindeer
he called Rudolph
who would help him on his way
soon, he gave this day a name –
Christmas it was called
and so Christmas,
Merry Christmas, came to stay
Merry Christmas everyone
be happy, spread good cheer
wherever you are
whatever you do
enjoy this time of year
Merry Christmas to the children
be good for Santa Claus
it’s the giving not receiving
that spreads love to you and yours.
