A ridiculous sight for all to see in my tacky sweater of Charlie Brown, sitting nervously upon Santa's knee. I shouldn't be here, except my friends dared me; a grown-up man acting more like a clown, sitting nervously upon Santa's knee. Santa's too jolly, ignoring my plea, embarrassed, I start struggling to get down, a ridiculous sight for all to see. My wife is laughing, and I want to flee, my smile, instantly replaced by a frown; sitting nervously upon Santa's knee. Holding me tight with a sly look of glee he offers to take me out on the town, a ridiculous sight for all to see. His Santa suit's dirty; it smells like pee and I no longer want to stick around. A ridiculous sight for all to see, sitting nervously upon Santa's knee.

This is super funny, Emile. I'm still laughing. And it did make such a delightful villanelle. Loved it!
