Jamming Commercials

Starting earlier every year, Christmas costs more and more with less cheer. This year Santa fell flat. His diet took the fat, Elves said,” this will not be good” they fear. Watching commercials, they got idea. Close diners, except pizzeria. Each ad on T.V. now, Pictures of pizzas wow! Santa gains, without diarrhea. Ads worked, he got a jolly belly. Elves solemnly sat in a deli. Commercialized just right, His red suit fit so tight, They needed petroleum jelly.
