Waiting for Old Saint Nick
Was a cup of hot cocoa wth marshmallows
And a peppermint stick
And in case Santa's eyesight
Should fail when he came "a knocking"
A child had made sure to leave the biggest stocking.

Dear **David**: Your joking hath punch --
to me, who remains out-to-lunch.
That stocking keeps mocking
the world's extra frocking,
such clothing as moths love to munch.

Lovely Christmas tale David Have you hung your stocking up then LOL

Thanks Bruce and Doreen, and no, I haven't hung my stocking as I'm Jewish I wrote this strictly for fun. I'll post a Hanukkah poem closer to the holiday if anyone cares to read it.
Your friend,
David Fox

A good poem, David

It's a good idea to hang a big stocking so that Santa won't miss it!

Best,
Carol

That was good David! ~Scott
