Notes
I woke up with such scare when I heard Santa call...
"Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
I ran to the lawn and in the snowy white drifts,
Those nasty reindeer had left "little gifts".

I got an old shovel and started to scoop,
Neat little piles of "Reindeer Poop!"
But to throw them away, seemed such a waste,
So I saved them, thinking you might like a taste!

As I finished my task, which took quite awhile.
Old Santa, passed by and he sheepishly smiled.
And I heard him exclaim as he was in the sky:
"Well they're not potty-trained, but at least they can fly!"
