A Christmas Story
Darby O'Gill

I had heard that every year

On Christmas Eve when night was near

If Id listen close Id surely hear

Santa and his eight reindeer

Old Santa the fat, and Rudolf the red

And eight other reindeer who powered a sled

That could soar through the air like a heleplane jet

And Id watched every year, but had not seen it yet

I had told the Santa fans

That the old mans legend was out of hand

In department stores the man is mimicked

Hes just another Christmas gimmick

Portrayed by a fellow whose real name is Hershel

I told them: Santas just commercial

But nobody listened to what I had said

So late Christmas eve, when all were in bed

I sneaked down the stairs with a masterful scheme

To prove that St. Nick was no more than a dream

My camera was aimed at the fireplace and

It stood well concealed on its new, gift wrapped stand

The camera was running all the night long

Until well after midnight, when Christmas Eve was gone

He hadnt showed up, not even an elf

I had proved he was untrue, and proud of myself

So I turned off my camera and headed for bed

I chuckled smugly and then shook my head

And thats when it happened, of all the bad fate

Someone behind me said: sorry Im late

I turned with a start, and there, by the tree

Oh, whats the use? Whod listen to me
