The Magical Mission of Santa Keys

-


‘Twas the evening earlier than Christmas and all via the Keys
Smiling vacation revelers savored the breeze.
However in different places, no person was smiling
as they braved freezing temperatures removed from the islands.

Whereas Keys guests strolled within the waterfront heat,
sharing vacation cheer as they made their approach forth,
Christmas spirits had plans for the chilly “refugees”
who had been bodily elsewhere however craving the Keys.

That’s why, out on the seashore, there arose such a squawking
of unsettled seagulls in seagull discuss speaking
that drivers of vehicles cruising subsequent to the ocean
couldn’t work out what had precipitated all of the commotion.

The moon on the shining white crescent of seashore
made the shoreline of Cuba appear nearly in attain
when what to the drivers’ amazement appeared
however a Santa in flip-flops and seaweed-decked beard.

Now, this Santa was sensible and this Santa was vivid
and he certain sympathized with the northerners’ plight.
In his previous life, earlier than heading south for the solar,
he too spent the winter months freezing his buns.

So he hijacked a sturdy previous boat used for fishin’,
discovered some Key deer to drag it and began his mission.
Crusing skyward to surf on a tropical breeze,
he steered his ship north bringing presents from the Keys.

As palm fronds earlier than a wild summer time storm fly
(when the shutters are closed and the water is excessive),
Santa Keys cruised the northern states together with his Key deer
spreading visions of heat blue seas and island cheer.

At every home the place the residents longed for the tropics,
he left small Keys tokens stuffed deep of their stockings.
There have been conch shells and flip-flops and Key lime tidbits,
Margarita combine too — and “Buffett’s Best Hits.”

There have been fishing reels, dive logs and lotions for solar
Conch Republic flags, stickers that learn “U.S. 1,”
tiny replicas of Key West’s Southernmost Level
and shrimp sauce from a cool previous Keys seafood joint.

When he dropped the final present on the final snow-topped home,
Santa Keys informed his Key deer to steer a course south.
His farewell drifted again as he snapped some selfies:
“Merry Christmas to all — now come go to the Keys!
