  • It was December 24th on Hollis Ave. in the dark,
    When I see a man chilling with his dog in the park.
    I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear,
    Looked at his dog, oh my God, an ill reindeer!
    But then I was illin’ because the man had a beard,
    And a bag full of goodies, 12 o’clock had neared.
    So I turned my head a second and the man had gone,
    But he left his driver’s wallet smack dead on the lawn.
    I picked the wallet up, then I took a pause…
    Took out the license and it cold said ‘Santa Claus!’
