I knew when I awoke, something was not right
I was still wearing the clothes I wore last night
one shoe was missing and was nowhere to be found
the water bed started moving and making a sound
I quickly jumped up and started looking under the bed
all I could see in the dark, was a little bald head
grabbing a baseball bat I began pounding on the floor
a little fat bald guy crawled out and ran out the door
My mind was hazy, I could not remember what I had done
the Xmas party the night before must have been fun
that night as I slept I was awakened by the same sound
again the water bed made a noise and was moving around
The fat little bald man was standing next to the bed
dressed in a white fluffy wig and a suit colored red
he said he was really ready and back for some more
of the Xmas present I promised him the night before
He took off his red suit, put his boots under the bed
removed the fluffy white wig from the top of his head
with a big grin he asked, Do you still believe in me?
I said I haven't believed in Santa since I was three
I'll always remember that merry Christmas with Nick
that little bald guy really was was lively and quick
I never will know if Nick was the real Santa or not
or the Santa at the Xmas party, I just plain forgot
The strangest thing happens the same time each year
I see Nick all over town when Christmas time is near
I see him everywhere in stores and parades passing by
every time I see him he gets that twinkle in his eye

Very cute poem I love the storyline. Light-hearted poetry just insn't my syle, what can I say, but on most days, I can spare a smile when I read someone else's humourous work. this piece did uplift the corners of my mouth- not bad, considering who's talking here. But I did like this poem- good job. Christmas with a twist it is. -
Cute write ..wow it is getting close to that time of year again
-
what an un-parallel to "twas the night before Christmas" poem that I ever will read! but truly fun to read, and although right now i might be feeling a little bah-humbug about Christmas this year, post it again this December...I'll be hanging the mistletoe and stuffing the stockings too!
thanks for the laughs sandy...i love to laugh!
