The Santa Gender Mind Bender

Eva  Gallant
Ever since the very first tales of Santa began,

All have assumed that Santa's a man.

Listen here: You may find it odd-

But I'm willing to bet that Santa's a broad!

The gifts kids receive---all picked by a guy?

The same species that's been known to buy

Their holiday gifts on Christmas Eve?

A plan-ahead- dude is hard to believe!

I suppose the elves could do all that wrapping-

We know for sure, a guy would be napping.

Would then he deliver his selections,

Without stopping once to ask for directions?

Fat chance of that, I would have to say;

With no GPS until recent day!

Do you know any man who'd admit being lost?

They're way too stubborn, regardless the cost!

Then there's the usual cookies and milk-

Would most guys be happy with things of that ilk?

No, I think not. Here's what I fear,

If Santa's a man, he'd want pretzels and beer!

Just give it some thought

And I'm sure you'll agree:

No way it's a man-

Santa must be a SHE!

    Oh, Eva -- I really LOVE this. I bet a magazine would run this in a holiday issue. I can see it published in Good Housekeeping or somewhere like that. What an original idea!
