 The Night Before Christmas In Pocomoke City!

"Ho, Ho, Ho, Next stop is Pocomoke City"

Twas' the night before Christmas
And throughout Worcester County
Children were snug in their beds
Awaiting Santa's good bounty.

The Eastern Shore hour was late

When all should be sleeping.
But to no one's surprise
Some sure were peeping.

The jolly ol' elf isn't far away

They all knew.
Maybe he's in Accomack, Somerset,
Or Wicomico, too.

They hoped that with decorations

Making everything pretty,
Santa certainly would visit
Pocomoke City!

Then from Second Street Extended

To Stockton Road,
Santa's sleigh was spotted
With all its good load.

And from the river bridges

To the Virginia line,
He made all his stops
Hoping to make everything fine.

All the children were sure

That when they awoke,
They would find good things
Left by Santa in Pocomoke!
