Christmas in Lake Wales

CHRISTMAS IN WINTER HAVEN

'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the town
No noses were frozen,
No snow fluttered down.

No children in flannels
were tucked into bed,
They all wore shorty
Pajamas instead.

To find wreaths of holly
Was not very hard.
For holly wreaths grew
In every back yard.

In front of the house
Were Daddy and Mom,
Decorating the crotons and
Coconut palms.

The sleeping kiddies
Were dreaming with glee,
Hoping to find water skis
Under the tree.

They all knew Santa
Was well on his way,
In a convertible
Instead of a sleigh.

He whizzed up the highways
And zoomed up the roads,
In a snappy late model
Delivering his loads.

And soon he arrived
And started his work,
For he hadn't a minute
To linger and shirk.

As he jumped from the car,
He gave a deep chuckle
He was dressed in Bermudas
With an Ivy League buckle.

There weren't any chimneys
But that caused no gloom.
For Santa came in
Through the Florida room.

He stopped at each house,
Stayed only a minute,
Emptying his bag,
Of toys that were in it.

Before he departed,
He treated himself,
To a glass of orange juice
Left on the shelf.

He turned with a bounce
And leaped into the car,
Remembering he still
Had to go very far.

Turning the key
And lighting the dash,
Up Highway 27
He went like a flash.

But we heard him exclaim
As he went on his way
Merry Christmas Winter Haven
I wish I could stay.
