I HEARD A HOOF

I heard a hoof

Upon the roof

Beside the chimney stack;

It was his sleigh

His magical dray,

With toys in array

in the back.

Midst falling soot

I spied a foot

Within the fireplace;

Then he appeared

All belly and beard,

With a smut besmeared

on his face.

Dressed all in red

He stood nigh my bed

A picture of vigour and vim;

With a gleam in his eye

He (unbelievably spry),

Filled my stocking close by

to its brim.

I'd like to think

He winked a wink

Before he turned to leave;

At your home too

He could be due,

All you need do…..

is believe.
