Who's Under The Christmas Tree?A Poem by LannyWho's Under The Christmas Tree? I’m a sleepin’ in my bed Toys is dancin’ in my head Then I wakes to Ho-Ho Noise Stoppin’ dreams of all those toys. Rolls out of my sleepin’ nook, Creeps down stairs and takes a look Don’t know what I’m gonna find Boyish thoughts fills up my mind . . . Who’s that dude beneath the tree? That ain’t Santy, no siree. Santy with a cowboy hat? Somethin’ sure is wrong with that! Dressed in red and white it’s so Heard him laughin’ Ho, Ho, Ho! This here dude, his hair is black, And he’s got no Santy pack, Plus he’s lost a cowboy boot, Smells of booze, this here galoot. I’m a thinkin’ mighty quick This for sure, it ain’t Saint Nick. Rolls him over, takes a peek It’s that batch I saw last week. He’s been flirtin’ with my ma! Man this sure sticks in my craw. All dressed up as Santa Claus And he’s done it just because He’s been sparkin’ with my mom, Talk about a Christmas bomb. So I toddles off to bed Things is workin’ in my head . . . Christmas morn what will I see Underneath that Christmas tree? Lanny -Batch/Bach, western slang for bachelor -Sparkin’, courting, dating -Santy, western slang for Santa -“Stuck in my craw”, western slang for something resented,
