SOOT FREE SANTA

Michael Edwards

 

It struck me last night after he’d  gone,

(and I hope my comments are respectfully  put),

but I wondered if  Santa’s a bit of a con

for his costume was free of smudgy black soot.

    He has a self cleaning outfit that puts the soot back into the chimney when he climbs back out after leaving the presents and drinking and eating his goodies.

    • Michael Edwards

      Ah - a mystery solved and here was me thinking the worse.

      Ahh, that's how he does it, is it? I hate Christmas morning. Cos I gotta clear up all this soot in me lounge now.
      I hate the evening more - Tracy Barlow in Corrie, and an hour of EastEnders. Who can bear it?!

      • Michael Edwards

        Not bearing anything today Orchi - it's too cold.

        • orchidee

          Any Berles coming to your Christmas dinner M?!

          • Michael Edwards

            Santa Berles is coming on his sleigh ringing his bells.

            • Michael Edwards

              He might even ding his dong!

              • orchidee

                How's that evening M?

                Ahhh When he comes now : With his greeting
                Through the Window : CENTRAL HEATING
                Christmas change : The Planet to save
                Chestnuts warming in the MICROWAVE
                Electrics come form NUCLEAR too
                Not generating C O 2 !

                    Saw him in the French Quater last night, he looked pretty sooty to me.
                    Beautiful painting Maestro!

                    • Michael Edwards

                      I've just sent him an email advising him to get a black outfit next year - his reply was very rude!

                      Cheers Jamie.
