Christmas Time is Here!

Santa Claus
Creeps across the sky
Quiet as can be
The only other sounds
Are
The sweep of easy wind
And downy flake,
He trudges on
And all he can think,
“I have miles to go
Before I sleep.”
And Rudolph
Gives his harness bells
A shake
As if to say,
“And I have many miles
To go before I sleep.”
And the snow makes whiteness
As it falls
And bushes look like
Popcorn balls
Swarming frost flakes
Fill the trees
And the clouds
Pelt snow
At good old
Saint Nick,
Christmas time is here!
