A modern day Santa...

Santa Claus is coming to town

Or so the story goes

A jolly old elf with a bowl full of jelly

Who flies with the tweak of his nose

Boots of black and a suit of red

He sees you awake or asleep

He comes inside on Christmas Day

Without so much as a peep

But if you ask me, they have it wrong

Santa wears brown, not red

He hustles all day all around town

Not stopping 'til his head hits the bed

A 40-hour week would be a gift

Since he's pulling a double a day

From north to south and all around town

Driving a truck instead of a sleigh

From morning to night, the truck that he drives

Is filled up with Amazon prime

He thinks to himself and shakes his head, 

"For the love, quit shopping online!"

He works through his lunch and into the night

Stopping for nary a break

He's trying his best to get done on time

So his kid's Christmas program he'll be able to make

The most wonderful time of year, they say

Is when Christmas comes to call

But for this Santa Claus wonder must wait

Until he delivers it all

Dresses and toys and bikes and dolls

Magic inside of a box

Delivering joy to all girls and boy

With the simplest double knock

And quick as the man dressed all in red

He disappears without even a glance

Back in his sleigh, that big brown square

Miss a drop off? Not even a chance. 

So this Christmas season, when Santa comes knocking

And he's running a little behind

Take a deep breath and simply remember

That this season we need to be kind

He's doing his best, he's giving his all

He won't stop until he is done

And naughty or nice, good or bad

He's committed to everyone

Oh yes, this modern day Santa, 

That's dressed all in brown, committed to delivering joy

Grants Christmas wishes with each knock of the door

To every girl and boy

As the weather gets colder and you find yourself

Sitting next to the ones you hold dear

All snuggled up tight, next to a fire

Grinning from ear to ear

Send Good Tidings to him, this new Santa Claus

It's all I ask of of you

And on Christmas morning while you celebrate

Think of what brown did for you!
