14 lines about St Nick
By James P. Smythe

It’s traditional, at this merry time of year, to sing songs, to recite poems, to tell stories about that wonderful jolly old man we all love at this time of year. No, not Lavie! I mean, of course, Santa Claus. And this is a little known traditional petrarchan sonnet about the man. Of course, you’ll recognise the structure, I’m sure. Maybe you’ll have even heard this before. But on this, the 14th day of December, I thought it appropriate to share this massively traditional and oh-so-festive 14 line poem with you. Enjoy, and happy Festivus!
