Twas the holiday season in 2024Â
The tale I’m to tell is hard to ignore.Â
The last few years have been a little bit rough,Â
Everyone, everywhere has had enough.Â
Â
The joyous season was finally hereÂ
Our families again can finally be near!Â
Â
Â
I was wrapping up work for the evening.Â
The truck was all stocked with all the suppliesÂ
I saw with my own eyes.Â
Â
When on the roof I heard such a clatter.Â
I looked up high to see what was the matter.Â
Inside I ran to find him standing right near the hearthÂ
Huffing and puffing for all he was worth.Â
Â
There he stood in my house, that jolly old elf.Â
But looking closer he didn’t look like himself.Â
He looked tired and the twinkle gone from his eyes.Â
He coughed and sniffled a bit and let out a big sigh.Â
Â
Santa, I asked are you ok?Â
You look cold and tired to be on that sleigh.Â
Santa said I’m feeling quite ill and have lost my oomphÂ
The travelling tonight has been a challenge roof to roof.Â
Â
His face appeared pale, his brow had some sweatÂ
His eyes looked weary, he seemed so upset.Â
He loosened his jacket and sat down in a chairÂ
He thought for a moment while sitting right there.Â
Â
How will I finish delivering toysÂ
To all of those millions of good girls and boys?Â
I can’t be sick for it’s Christmas eve.Â
I have to come through or they’ll no longer believe.Â
Â
I sat there pondering about what I could doÂ
To help Santa continue delivering his route.Â
I ran out to the truck and grab my kitÂ
I said I have something that will help quite a bit.Â
Â
Â
A special IV I have mixed you to help you get throughÂ
Let me administer it here, it’ll take just a minute or two.Â
Santa sat back on the chair and let the IV run in.Â
Once finished he rose from the chair and turned with a grin.Â
Â
A wink of his eye and a some color back in his cheeksÂ
I’m feeling better already and not like an antique.Â
His face appeared rosy, back to its normal old hue.Â
Giving a nod up the chimney he flew.Â
Â
He jumped onto his sleigh and called out their names, Â
Now Dasher, now Dancer, now Prancer and VixenÂ
on Comet , on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen.Â
ExclusIV has fixed me on this Christmas nightÂ
Thank you Chris for helping me escape this plight
