One September night, I turned on the light,
And sat my girl in her pink chair.
“I need to start soon, so pick your costume.
Lets not leave this up in the air.”
“Santa!” she cried, and my eyes opened wide.
“But that’s Christmas!” I said with a shout.
But then I thought twice, this might be quite nice.
The Santas would not be sold out!
I hopped in the car, didn’t go very far,
And drove to the holiday store.
With a victory cry, I held Santa high.
The trip took five minutes, no more.
I rushed in with a whirl and showed my sweet girl
The beautiful, easy red suit.
She started to cry, “No! BUTTERFLY!”
And gave poor old Santa the boot.
I fell to my knees, my head in my hands
I sobbed and I screamed and I cursed.
Accepting my plight, I went out in the night.
On the eve of October 31st.
I pulled up to the shop, my jaw it did drop,
When I saw the ridiculous line.
A sea of parents were there, pulling out their gray hair,
As their kids screamed and shouted and whined.
I walked, head hung low. To the end I did go,
The outcome remains to be seen.
But I stood and I waited, better not to be hated,
By my sweet young girl on Halloween!
Happy Halloween Everyone!
