Santa's Cause
by
Mark Lane

I’ve gained some weight and I can see that my beard is turning white,
To get the kid’s presents put under the tree I stay up half the night.

In order to read the tags on the gifts I have to wear my reading glasses,
My wife just brought me a tray of cookies that were baked with molasses.

Now I can see that I need to work on my list of character flaws,
I have to be good because it seems I’m turning into Santa Claus.

There was a time in my young life that I was so cool and slick,
But now more often it seems I’m confused with jolly ol’ St. Nick.

I could fight it I suppose and try to pretend that it’s all a pack of lies,
The more I think about it though, the more I might like a sleigh that flies.

I'm glad somebody's posting Christmas poems.
