All the Little People

All the Little People                                             November 6, 2005

Daddy's bring home the money,

And so much is expected of them.

In their hands, they possess a key

Of fates glorious or grim.

Their wives come out onto the scene

All decked out to greet their men,

And bring their children, from toddler to teen,

To gather the family again.

Christmas time, kids want toys,

And Santa's got a doozy of a list,

But daddys all have this one ploy

With alternatives in the midst.

And all the little people will be sad,

And get mad at Santa for his shortcomings,

And this will lead to a rising from each little lad

Which will result in multiple pummelings.

When all is said and done,

When the dust has settled,

The children cease smelling blood, have fun

And commence as if nothing had rippled.
