Santa’s Lap
My life in review.
Deck the halls with joy and laughter
Santa arbitrates a serious matter.
Yuletide cheer comes every year.
On St Nicks lap, all wishes he hears.
🎅
"What is your name sweet little boy?
Share with me your list of toys?
Have you been naughty, good, or bad?
Are your parents happy or sad?"
•
"My name’s “got.” S. C. O. T. “got.”
my brothers all act, very bad,
They call me names, like snotty Scott,
make mommy cry, my dad's very mad."
🎅
Yuletide cheer comes every year.
On St Nick's lap, all wishes he hears.
🎅
"What’s your name, you handsome young slick?
You still believe in Ole Saint Nick?
Let me check your list, maybe twice.
A car, a game? Have you been nice?"
•
"My name’s Scott, I won’t be dismissed.
Give me what I want, I must insist.
My happiness reigns beyond all else,
Don’t bring a car that sits on a shelf."
🎅
Yuletide cheer comes every year.
On St Nicks lap, all wishes he hears.
🎅
"What is your name Mr. Businessman?
A wee bit Old, for my old knee?
Ah heck, go ahead, let me see,
A baby? A boy? oh my, geez."
•
"Mr. Santa, please, to you Mr. Wade.
I’ve earned the right, and won’t be swayed.
I confess, my career is blessed,
A child for Christmas is my quest."
🎅
Yuletide cheer comes every year.
On St Nicks lap, all wishes he hears.
🎅
"What is your name grumpy old man?
Haven’t I given, all your demands?
Toys, a car, a sweet precious boy.
Your heart seems heavy, still no joy?"
•
"I’m all alone, my boy is dead.
Possessions are gone, I live in dread.
I’ve missed the point, your gifts were free,
Great blessings were bestowed on me."
•
"Today, I ask, for nothing from you,
The past, my life, now in review.
How can I help around the world?
Would you please, make me your elf?
I’ve taken too much, it’s time to give,
by helping, sharing, I will live."
🎅
Yuletide cheer comes every year.
On St Nick's lap, your wishes he’ll hear.
From cradle to now, I have changed.
Giving my best, life rearranged.
🎅
HO HO, Merry Christmas to all.
Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa too.
Joy and Peace for all in the world
This my holiday wish for you.
