A Holiday Surprise
A silly Christmas poem in Starbuck`s POV
By Betty and Jen lmr
'Twas a night full of loving,
of sex and romance.
All I wanted was Apollo,
to get into his pants.
But now I lay tossing,
and turning in bed.
Unable to sleep or
rest my weary head.
Then from the other room
I heard a thump and a clatter
so I jumped out of the bed
to see what was the matter
It could be the boy
just getting a drink
or that damn daggit of his
playing at the sink.
I was not prepared
for the sight that I saw
a fat little man
rubbing his jaw.
He stood up with a groan
and looked himself over
then mumbled to no one
about landing in clover
Picking up a red bag
that was bigger than he
He checked out the room
and said, "Where is the tree?"
I took a deep breath
as I went out the door
and yelled at the man,
"Drop that bag on the floor."
He turned with a jerk
and yelled out in surprise,
"I`m not to be seen
by any mortals eyes."
"Who are you?" I asked
without so much as a pause
then he answered me plainly,
"Why I am Santa Clause."
Jen lmr`s part
Dazed and amazed, he asked,
"Why are you here?"
Because you have
something so special,
something so dear.
Return to your bed,
forget I was here,
then when you awake
be of good cheer.
Starbuck's eyes glazed over
and he returned to his bed,
thoughts of magic
dancing through his head.
His midnight visitor
set about his task,
His naughty and nice list
paled to this,
Seeing a love as strong as this
was more than he could ask
Before he left he bestowed
on the sleeping figure,
a single kiss
Betty again
I awoke to a bang
to bark and a shout
Young Boxey was yelling,
"You must check this out."
My love and I ran
to see what was the matter
and stopped in our tracks
unable to chatter
There in the corner
was a very big tree
with presents galore
and some were for me
Our eyes big as saucers
we stared at the sight
then my love loudly asked
"Just what happened last night?"
Then the boy found a note
taped on our front door
it explained all the gifts
that covered our floor
Then we heard a jolly voice
bounce off the walls
"Merry Christmas to you all!
But next year please deck your halls!"
I looked at my love
It was worse than we feared
we realised that day
That Earth`s people were weird.
