The House Without a Chimney



Santa was delivering presents on Christmas night,
When his eyes beheld a strange sight.
Most houses seemed strange and flimsy,
But this one had no chimney!
Santa stared at the house with confusion,
Was this house a strange illusion?
But no, there was no chimney on the rooftop.
Santa shrugged and went down onto the roof with a BOP!
When he got on, Santa had a big question...
How can he get inside and deliver presents with the succession?
He dropped down the roof beside the house,
Santa was climbing through the window as quiet as a mouse.
He filled the stockings, he put presents under the tree,
Santa ate the cookies the family left out with glee.
As he left the house and got on his sleigh,
He realized that it was very cool to see a house this way.
Santa got on his sleigh and continued delivering presents,
But he will never forget being in this house’s presence.
