Santa's Holiday

This year, Santa has had lots of fun.
his holiday this time spent in the sun.
For fresh strength and vitality renewed,
red cloak aside, he bathed in the nude!

While Rudolf gave children a seaside ride
Santa slid down their helter-skelter slide.
He drove a dodge’em with reckless ease.
Candy floss on his beard - he had to sneeze.

On the roundabout he enjoyed his turn.
On pleasure cruise, jumped in the stern.
Mrs. Claus said “You’re a funny chap!”
and then gave him a really hearty slap.

In the hall of mirrors he did look strange,
yet shot all the targets on the rifle range.
Presents for children near and far,
then a quick trip to the local bar!

At the Palmist his fortune told,
heard all children would be good as gold.
He couldn’t believe this to be true,
but if told this fact, then would you?

On the ghost train he had a big fright
afterwards he saw his beard was white!
The big wheel carried him up on high,
looking down from his perch up in the sky.

Mrs. Claus said “Santa, how do you do it?
A stick of rock, your name right through it!”
Coach trip in countryside to see a local ruin,
then on to the brewery to find what’s brewing.

This trip gave Santa’s cheeks a rosy glow
as he went on the pier to see the variety show.
He laughed when he was put into a trance,
joining long legged girls in high kick dance.

Mrs. Claus got up and dragged him off the stage,
hitting him with handbag, being in quite a rage.
Santa really you know that’s not your rôle,
let me take you home and drive you up the Pole!”
