The Empty Workshop
by John Gable
What’s in Santa’s workshop?
Let’s take a look around.
They should be busy making toys,
But no elves can be found.
One should hear tiny hammers,
See bouncing balls and bears,
But all the shelves are empty,
The tables and the chairs.
There’s not a doll or train in sight.
No jump ropes or toy cars.
No Jack-in-boxes, building blocks,
Toy drums or toy guitars.
Perhaps we should be worried
At this toy making reprieve,
But for tonight we’ll worry not
For this is Christmas Eve!
The toys are packed and ready
Up there on Santa’s sleigh.
Tonight we rest , and then start work
For next year’s Christmas Day!
