Santa's Sacked!

Saxon Crow

The news is in and things are bad

Santa has been fired

For breaching so many rules in his time

The poor sods been retired

Risk assessments have been conducted

By the health and safety board 

And the police are investigating him on several counts of fraud

There's also breaking and entering

And charges of loitering in the street

Begging, coercing information and i won't mention scaring all the kids

Then MI5 really want to know

How he gets around, 

Without a passport, to every country and ever single town. 

And with all the languages that he speaks he is posing a heightened risk

So just for safety and assurances he's on their naughty list 

And animal welfare are up in arms

Because reindeer can't live on carrots 

And making them fly is just plain cruel

Their mammals not colourful parrots 

Greta Thornbergs not in school again

Because his sleigh causes climate change

And black lives matter are fuming because they can find nothing strange

And with these new rules put in place

He's definitely not isolating. 

Not wearing a mask or cleaning his, hands 

Means he's a walking infestation. 

So there you have it, the evidence is in

Christmas has been cancelled 

Santa is the world's most wanted man

It's a terrible situation 

But come Christmas eve when we are all asleep he'll be delivering presents

With some luck. 

Because Santa is made of joy and magic and doesn't give a fuck

    My 3yr old has totally cottoned on to all of it now. Christmas is definitely in our house!

    A very happy Christmas to you and your family Teddy x

    Thank you for a good laugh with your punchline. You are quite the storyteller Saxon.

    I'd love to be around my grandkids at this special time of year for them. Covid has a lot to answer for but staying alive for a better day is my motivation.

    • Doggerel Dave

      Gotta feel for the poor old fella - definitely from another era - unable to cope with modern values , and in all manner of shit.... Now in my day, in my day I say, he was allowed to just slip away quietly, when I didn't believe anymore.

      Chuckle time, Sax.
