Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Jolly Ready

"Ho, ho," Santa said to the elves,
"And it's time to load up the sleigh."
"Presence of time to lift ourselves;"
"Presents to Earth to give away."
"Yes, the giving season is here;"
"And, we're key - though I shouldn't brag."
"Ho, ho Rudolph - ready the deer."
"Oh, oh - where did I put that bag?"
"Let me inquire of Mrs Claus..."
"It's underneath the mistletoe."
"Dear, you know I'd like to pause"
"And smooch - but we got to go."
Yule tidings and some lipstick trace
Send Santa sleighing into space.
