Santa gets a Harley
As Christmas was approaching, poor Santa felt the strain,
His knees creaked, His joints ached, & his back was full of pain.
He called his wife for some advice, but she couldn’t help at all,
So he went to see the reindeer, tucked up cozy in their stall.
Blitzen had athritis, Comet & Cupid had the flu, Dasher just felt very old,
Dancer & Prancer were both going deaf, Donder & Vixen did not like the Cold.
Then Santa had a great idea & went to talk to the Elves, who remain always young.
He told them what he wanted, and at once a plan was drawn & work begun.
Three days left till Christmas Eve, the Elves called Santa to come & see,
It really was a thing of beauty, shining & gleaming in the night, “That’ll do me”.
So he climbed aboard, started the motor & took off like a rocket, racing cross the skies.
He soon returned & told them all, how exceedingly well she flies.
Nobody saw Santa until Christmas eve, then they got a shock, gone was his traditional suit,
Replaced with leather jacket & trousers (Red of course) & a pair of biker boots.
Off he roared on his way to deliver the gifts, & was back home in half the time,
With a smile upon his face, feeling half his age & fine.
“I should have done this years ago, so much fun, can’t find a thing i don’t like.
So forget about the jingle bells, Just listen for a Harley Davidson Bike.

Merry Christmas everybody
