Santa's Close Encounter

In the midst of Christmas Eve drills,
While elves tested Santa's sleigh,
An alien contact sent chills,
And thrills through Santa's chalet.

The alien beamed down to sit,
On the lap of old St. Nick,
Where Santa did quickly commit,
To a new spacecraft joystick.

With much joy, praise, and goodwill to proclaim,
The alien returned from whence he came.
