Twas the last day of school
before a long winter break
Not a student was learning,
they were all munching on cake
The children had tidied,
supplies all snug in their places
With candy cane smiles
lighting up their sweet faces
The artwork was stowed
in their backpacks with care
In the hope that they'd bring
holiday cheer home to share
When outside the portable
there arose such a clatter
Ms. G sprang from the party
to see what was the matter
The class followed her out,
filling up the whole porch
And right out in front of them,
near as a bright as a torch
Rudolph, nose blazing red
through the dark Vancouver rain,
Behind him the reindeer
pulling Santaโs sleigh like a train
Santa jumped out spritely,
red hat bouncing with glee
He waved at the group and
boomed out, "Hello there Ms. G,"
โAnd Division 14,
all of you good girls and boys.
Weโre rehearsing our run
to practice delivering toysโ
The reindeer pranced all round,
putting on a fine show
Santa offered his hand and said,
โCome on Ms. G, letโs go,โ
โWeโll drop you in Mexico
before we head back,โ
Ms. G happily agreed, asking
โdo you have time for a snack?โ
The class joyfully welcomed
the jolly crew to the party
They delighted in the games
and the food, eating hearty
Too soon it was time
for the guests of honour to go
Santa sprang to his sleigh and
exclaimed, โ**, **, **,โ
"Now, Rudoph and Dasher!
Dancer, Prancer and *****!
Now, Comet! on, Cupid!
On, Donner on Blitzen!
โTo the top of the portable
then over the school
To Mexico we go,
to Ms. Gโs holiday by the pool.โ
And off the sleigh flew
with Ms. G safely strapped in,
Her pink toque a-bobbing,
her face all a-grin
They heard him exclaim,
ere he drove out of sightโ
"Happy Holidays to all,
and to all a good night!"
