Night seems to lengthen-long,
for his yearly journey.
His jolly conveyence
slipping through a timeless warp,
as it travels The Eve
on magical flight
in the trails of a Comet-
(and a Cupid and a Donder and a Blitzen...)
Hours, but mere seconds on his watch.
Jovial face laughing
as he performs his annual duty
of delievering childhood wishes-
...All done,
in the Nick of time.
