Santa’s Working Crew

November 29, 2008
By: Rose Marie Rideout

 

Santa dresses in red and white,
Travelling all through the stormy night,
Delivering all those handmade toys,
To every little girl and boy.

Sick Rudolf loaned us a light so bright,
To guide the  18 wheeler through the night,
I think there’s two cousins at the wheel,
Taking sharp turns, I hear them squeal.

Looks like Rose & Felix are helping out,
They know what Christmas is all about.

They can’t have weeping girls and boys,
Waking up with no treats or Christmas toys.

Gene, Ron & Randall are helping to drop the toys  off,
Climbing up on every slippery, steep roof top.
Georg & Larry are passing them out one by one,
With every gift, they  share in the fun.

Oh my I see the girls are running fast,
Extra help is here at last,
LaBelle, & Amber, Karla & Karen too,
Linda, Michelle & Dawn to mention a few.

Wait now I hear a familiar voice,
As Eileen, Shee, Chanti  & Ch’erie, slid on the ice.
John, Edwin, Paul & Ed have come along,
With Gerard, William and Regis, we can’t go wrong.

Dalton & Patricia says an 18 wheeler will hold them all,
At the end of the night we hear that familiar call.
Jill, Phyllis, Bernice, Carin, Christine, Kathy & Rae,
With Tinka, Vickie, Jackie & Michael ,on the sleigh.

Rockie & Patricia says we don’t want to ruin this day,
With no toys and treats to come their way.
Ted, George, Emile, Walt, Jude & Dan too,
Has helped with more than a few.

What a wonderful Christmas day this will be,
When they see Santa’s gifts neath the old Christmas tree.
Kimmy, Elizabeth, Christine, Barbara & Yolie are here,
With Art, Myrtle, MaryGrace & Lena to show they care.

Now Chantilly & Staci are checking the list of good,
As Cynthia, Liane  & Lois thought that they should.
While Marci being in charge I am told,
Carefully checked the bad & the bold.

Santa has a wonderful working crew,
Lady J & Joyce were  happy I mentioned a few,
So many smiles will be seen on this special day,
We all hope you  have a Fantastic Christmas Day.

Now this Elf is tired and running on low,
So I think this is the end, for it’s starting to snow.
Thank you to all who’s helped in some way,
Now Santa can rest, You’ve helped to  fulfill his day.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS To All
&
A HAPPY NEW YEAR

Rose,

Glad it wasn't Karen or I sliding on the ice: canes and crutches everywhere! LOL I would have dropped the presents, and then Santa would leave me a lifetime shipment of coal. LOL *whew* Glad we didn't! Charming write, of our DenFamily getting together to help brighten little boys' and girls' Christmas! Well done, and Merry Christmas!!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
