Flutterby™! : Going the distance

RT 𝐿𝒶𝓃𝒶 "not Christmas Cake" @Lana@beige.party

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line

Waiting, and ready, and pacing in time

When what to my wondering eyes did appear

But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer

More rapid than eagles his coursers they flew

With a sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too

Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns

Their prowess is potent and secretly stem

As they speed through the air they don't dare look down

At the tops of the roofs of this slumbering town

All the world is asleep except for one man

Still driving and striving as fast as he can

So the moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave a lustre of midday to objects below

But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns

And thinking of someone for whom he. still. burns.

He's going the DISTANCE

He's going for SPEED

He's all alone (all alone)

All alone on this CHRISTMAS EVE

Because he's racing and pacing and flying his sleigh

To every part of the world in a single day

He's going the DISTANCE.
