The Elves Save Christmas — Regina Puckett

Santa's sled now sits on Little Suzie's rooftop Where he gathers the toys for this his last drop The good boys and girls' lists have almost been filled None of the presents having been lost or yet spilled Now all Santa has to do is dig through his bag To find Suzie's doll, but instead there's a snag There's no doll to be found, although there are five toy trains So to check over his list he throws down the reins But the reindeers, now tired and confused, start to fly away And in the haste and confusion poor Santa falls into the sleigh Empty bags and stray presents are thrown this way and that As Santa bounces around until losing his boots and his hat There's much confusion and bruising before the elves come up with a plan Grabbing both reins, they finally rescue the poor unfortunate man Locate his boots and his hat, and even a lost doll from under the seat With Santa's hat back on his head and boots snug on his feet Christmas has at last been saved by Santa's trustworthy team So, Merry Christmas, dear children, may you all have sweet holiday dreams!
