“Waiting For Santa”

“Waiting For Santa”

“SEE SANTA TODAY!” said the sign,
So we stood and we waited in line.
My four-year-old giggled
And fretted and wiggled
And soon he proceeded to whine.


“Be quiet!” I said, feeling stern.
“Look Jimmy, it’s almost our turn!”
While he cried with despair,
People started to stare.
Sometimes I think I’ll never learn!


When we finally got to the gate,
My son looked at me and said, “Wait!”
“I can do it myself.”
Then he turned to the elf
And walked up without further debate.


Jimmy said, “Hello Santa, I’m here!
And I’ve been a good boy all year.”
Then his voice dropped down low,
“But I think you should know....”
And he whispered into Santa’s ear.


And then, while on Santa’s knee
My son yelled out “I’ve gotta pee!”
But by then, I regret
Santa’s knee was all wet.
(Why do these things happen to me?)


The moral to this, as you know,
Is to always make sure that you “go”.
Before taking a ride
Or just going outside,
Take a potty break; don’t “overflow!”
