Around the corner and across the street, Johnson Jewelry’s window display was complete.

So much glittering gold and silver adornments, To choose just one gift, it caused such torment!

A necklace and earrings for his dear, loving bride, And new watches for the elves, he thought with pride.

He cried, “This won’t do,” as he pondered his options.

To Graham Tire he’d go — that or a sleigh auction!

They needed replacing, there was no time to spare.

He’d have them delivered to the North Pole workshop The sugar content surely would make the elves hop!

With samples a’plenty offered to Santa, He indulged too much and needed Mylanta!

Errands checked off, and his to-do list complete, Santa Claus and his sleigh headed on down the street.

Up, up and away, he hollered out to his team “I’ll be back on Christmas Eve,” he said with a gleam.
