A Lateral Christmas

This is a lateral Christmas, The reasons for red-nosed reindeer, Rudolph was on the booze, my dears, Santa and Rudolph were dipsomaniacs, They drank all the booze in Santa's sacks, But worse, Santa's in a Stroke Unit, we fear, We knew it was a bit hard, For gifts, Santa maxed out his credit cards, Red cheeks meant high blood pressure, we fear, There's worse, Mrs. Santa was a real vixen, She drank all the eggnog with Rudolph and Blitzen, The drunken elves kept all your gifts for their party, They drank all your Christmas bevvies, party hearty! There's worse, Christmas fairies live in fear, They did ask Santa one year, "What to do with the trees, Santa dear?" "Wait and see!" roared Santa, O dear, There's a fairy with a tree up her blip here, Now, Santa's in the Stroke Unit this year, Folk at the North Pole, too much Christmas cheer, So, there's no Christmas on Earth, my dears, This is the lateral Christmas year......
