Hip-Hop Christmas
From the book The Elephant Repairman
The North Pole has a DJ.
His name is M.C. Kringle.
He loves to spin a record or
to sing a Christmas jingle.
He’ll b-boy on the dance floor
to disco, rap, and rock.
He’ll beatbox on the microphone,
then stop and pop and lock.
He likes to do the Robot.
He loves to rap a rhyme.
The elves and reindeer always watch
and stomp their feet in time.
They’ll wiggle to the rhythm.
You’ll sometimes see them clapping.
You see, his helpers make the gifts
but Santa does the rapping.
