For my Pony Club member grandson
Twas the day before Christmas, Santa in a stew
My reindeer are coughing, what shall I do
Tom said “Take Iggy, he jumps very high
He’ll pull your sleigh right up to the sky”
So Iggy and Pickle were harnessed with haste
The presents were loaded “Now off to the East
The sun there dawns first on the 25th date
Stockings are hanging, we mustn’t be late”
Then Santa and Tom both shouted “Away”
And Pickle and Iggy took off with the sleigh.
When they got back to Kelsall with half the job done
The ponies were flagging, they could not go on.
So Tom said to Santa “we’ll go in Mum’s car
I know how to drive* and I don’t care how far”
They climbed in the car with the sleigh towed behind
And off again Westward more stockings to find
And before the world’s children children awoke on the morn
The presents were waiting and Tom’s job was done
* He's starting early, by reversing the car in front of the stable, and driving round the arena
