"My Dad Was Santa Claus" by Doug Croft

 – with a sparkle in his eye

For good reason, for years they all thought Santa drove a red Volkswagen.

His poetry has twice appeared in the Rio Grande Valley International Poetry Festival Boundless Anthology, Waco WordFest Cultural Arts Festival, along with three magazines: Synkroniciti, Auroras & Blossoms, Culture Cult.
