Naughty and Nice

Indulge me... :)

Naughty and Nice

 

Children all know

we have taught them so well,

someone is watching

their story to tell.

 

To be caught being naughty

would be such a fright,

for Santa would know

and they’d dread Christmas night.

 

So intelligent children

the good and the bad,

try their best to be nice

cause there’s more to be had.

 

Yet all grown-ups know

there’s a third place to rank,

to be naughty and nice

dare Santa to spank.

 

Then Santa’s true helper

will feel Christmas joy,

just be naughty and nice

it’s OK to play coy.

Cute! fun interpretation of naughty/nice/Santa thing I wonder how Elf on the shelf factors into the equation...

[David Scott]

The poor little guy is clueless... He is so busy watching the kids for the naught or nice list he doesn't even know about the grown ups naught and nice list. ;) I don't think the title guy has hit puberty yet.
Thanks for the review. 😀

[CD Campbell]

Very cheeky. Can't write like that so kudos to you. I laughed out loud and can't say I do that much whenever I read a poem. Thanks. CD

[David Scott]

I've been mistaken for a Brit time to time... Too many James Bond movies.
Thanks for reading and I'm happy you got a laugh. That's the point after all. 😀
Be well.

[David Scott]

I love this piece, well that was an unfortunate word I guess. Well I may have to make this a Christmas bedtime story to my love. I know she'll laugh and say I'm bad, but I will just apologize and say I did not write these words. But then a giggle and a little hug and thanks for the work. Well done.

[David Scott]

At least you "get" the "piece"... Some people never will.
Ok... I'm officially on the naughty list.
Thanks for reading. I hope your wife enjoys it as well... The piece, I mean... Oh you know what I mean... ;p

[Firebird]

Haha! I love it. It sounded like Dr Suess gone naughty. :-)

[David Scott]

Dr K gone naughty here... It was just a funny mood. I've always been very nice and I've never not been extremely naughty... Christmas seems to work out just fine. ;)
Thanks for the comment.
