These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Christmas Turn Around

Christmas day will soon be here.
We really should be sweet.
The poem tells us, "not a tear,
or you will miss a treat."

When Rudolph led the big man's sleigh,
the sky was murky dark.
He bested all the games they play.
'Twas no need then to park.

The broken toys of Misfit Land
found truest homes that night.
Their future lives were wondrous, grand
when children made things right.

So, "Ho, ho, ho, and merry all
your Christmases must be,"
as Santa sits so big and tall
in his sleigh for all to see.
