Santa Was Here!!! Care to read?

She placed her little foot inside the large footprint in the snow

wondering how and when it got there and which direction it did go

a smile as large as ever broke out upon her face

she was sure it belonged to Santa Claus and followed his each pace

Grandma, Look! she said, I know it's really true

I know I've put my foot inside the mark of his black boot

HE was here! HE was here! His print is really clear

I wonder when he came and if he left anything near?

Running inside she spotted the evidence there

brightly wrapped packages were all placed with care

but how did he know to come to Grandma's house?

why she didn't even have a chimney, how did he get in?

Grandma explained that Santa always knows

that if there is no chimney through the back door he goes

he visits all the houses where the little children play

that is why he came to grandma's house and visited that day

That's why you see his footprints left upon the snow

leading to the back door just for us to know

P.S. Merry Christmas Everyone!

Update:

Edit: the thumbs downs are from the Grinch of Yahoo. All thumbs ups from me!

    Merry Christmas Shirley. Good to see you. Lovely poem about grandchildren and Christmas. You have to make the most of the time when they believe in the magic of Santa. Isn't it a pity they have to grow up?

    Charming, charming! I remember worrying, because our chimney led directly into the furnace. Of course I was very young when I was disillusioned, being that when I was 6 I shared a house with 6 teenagers.

    Great to see you, happy Christmas. I type Christmas badly so often, the iphone thinks Chrustmad is an correction option.

    I wait for my little crust mad

    I wait for my little crust mad

    I wait for my little crust mad

    And I hope you do too!

    shirley f

    Cute and clever, and good use of rhymes.

    You are not going to believe this, but due to some lack of sleep last night, at the

    end of reading this, I dosed off just sitting here and dreamed that I was in on

    this somehow.

    Way cool when a poem can do that. In your dreams!!!!

    Thanks
