Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 679 (Horses)

He was promised a horse-

And, Santa would bring it, of course.

.

He went to bed on Christmas Eve-

Until morning, his bed, he would not leave.

.

It took a while to go to sleep-

But, not a word out of him, not a peep.

.

He knew that Santa would take care of him-

He had good sources, for it was not a whim.

.

He had written Santa a letter, and his father

told him so-

That his odds of getting that horse were

beginning to grow.

.

He finally fell asleep, and then the break

of dawn came-

He knew that when he went downstairs,

that his life would never again be the

same.

.

First, he looked out the window to see-

If any sign of a horse, there could be.

.

And, then downstairs he went and

what did he find under the tree?

Horse droppings left, for all to see.

.

The horse had been brought, and

then he trotted away-

Is all that his father had to say.

.

He was promised a horse-

And, Santa would bring it, of course.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 863 (The Ones To Fill)

The dress shoes were always on hand-

Worn daily, by the businessman.

.

The boots were worn on a regular basis-

By the firemen in the truck, that one cannot miss.

.

The tennis shoes are worn by the teenager, at school-

The latest brand is always the golden rule.

.

On the beach, the sunbathers, may be still-

But, manage through the sand, wearing that sandal.

.

The flats are worn by the ladies who reject the ones that are high-

Look over there and you will see them go by.

.

On the stage, it is no news-

To see dancers sporting their dance shoes.

.

All of the above footwear have their roles to fill-

To be worn to do a task to not stand still.

.

There is one more item that is filled each and every year

by a special one-

The stocking hanging over the fireplace, yeah, Santa fills

that one, he gets the job done.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 862 (Santa Now And Way Back When)

I heard a noise-

Could it be the little girls and the little boys?

.

I knew that they had to be asleep-

I checked on them, there was not a peep.

.

I heard the noise again-

It reminded me of a noise, I had heard way

back when.

.

When I was a child, that same noise had come

into my head-

Probably Santa and his reindeer is what I had

said.

.

Of course, I quickly shut my eyes-

Did not look, did not want to give Santa a surprise.

.

So manybe as an adult, I can do the same-

To ignore that noise, and figure that Santa came.

.

Even though we tend to grow old-

The enlightenment, of children can still unfold.

.

As I closed my eyes, I knew that my dreams could

still come true-

Santa I’m going to sleep and you can do what it

is that you need to do.

.

I heard a noise-

Could it be the little girls and the little boys?

 

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 860 (Santa’s Return Home)

After Santa’s worldwide roam-

He was tired, when he got home.

.

Mrs. Santa Claus just had to get-

For him, a cup of hot chocolate.

.

And, off one boot came-

The other one ending up the same.

.

It has been a good run this year-

Santa and the reindeer, fulfilled their

mission with much cheer.

.

Not a child was missed, as Santa had

planned-

A toy for each child, was delivered all

across the land.

.

Mrs. Claus figured that Santa could use

a warm bubble bath-

She saw his tired face, she did the math.

.

So she ran him one, and urged him

to get in-

Tired muscles, on an old man, need to

be pampered now and then.

.

The reindeer needed a good rest too-

Rudolph turned his nose off, as the

season was over and through.

.

But, the elves knew that their job was

not over for long-

After a short vacation, well, the new

toy building would come along.

.

For it takes the whole year, to make

enough toys-

For all the good girls and the good boys.

.

After Santa’s worldwide roam-

He was tired when he got home.
