My Dad Was a Rad Santa

My dad played Santa years ago. To many a party for friends he did show

That Dutch Crane couldn’t say, No! His grand children didn’t even know.

With his home sewn suit he said, HO, HO!

My mother loved to accompany him to the many friends, family and functions he shared his hearty laugh and love for serving at Christmas. How it began, I don't know. I am not sure I ever asked them. Perhaps someone needed a Santa and told him he would be perfect for the part with his giant laugh. I had my son, Jory try on the same suit. He has some of the same 'hamming up' abilities that my dad had.
