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.

      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.

          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 !

          Love the SNOWSCENE & Your droll contribution
          Happy Christmas to YOU & YOURS
          Love : Angela & Brian 🧡🧡🧡🧡

              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.
