Chocolate Santa - A Light Hearted Poem

And a Video

Chocolate Santa

A Poem inspired by the Chocolate Advent Calendar we are sharing as a family

I played with chocolate Santa

Sent him down a slide of Selenite

He skied on airways of pure delight

And danced with chocolate snowman

Who said, “Bro man,”

I want to know, man

Why you’re having so much fun!

“Well I quit the corporate ladder and decided to become mad as a chocolate Santa-hatter instead of working in an institution that made me sadder”

So you’ll haven no more laps to sit in - was creeping some of the kids out anyway

But I’ll tell you, the Spirit of Childlike wonder

Is alive and well

And reclaiming the Joy of Advent

Makes it fun to tell

That merry-making

Doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated

Our Innocent

Child-like spirit doesn’t need to be abandoned

Or abrogated

Let’s choose to withdraw our approval from that which co-opts our consent

And then we can choose not to get bent

I may melt back into nothing

But I’ll be dancing until then

And sliding on selenite

And showing that the loving black womb of no-thing is the only darkness

On which a life is worth being spent
