T’was the night before Christmas
And all through the city
Not one snowflake dropped
What a shame! What a pity!
The stockings were hung
And the tree was up
But without snow
It just wasn’t enough
Children were sprawled
Out in their beds
With visions of palm trees
Dancing in their heads
Waiting for Santa
To come and visit
In his swim trunks
Carrying a bag with toys in it
When they awoke
To all of their gifts
They still found
No snow drifts
And in their stockings
They all found
Many different kinds of floaties
Pink, blue, square, and round!
