Notes About The Poem

- A Lot Has Changed -

With minus 16 degrees and
  starry sky when the light took night

                          Six days to Christmas
           and we all expect a visit from the North Pole

Santa's body shape and apparently huge belly
is a sign that should be taken seriously,
diabetes and high blood pressure
At risk of life and health - spread of covid-19

This Christmas he is working in unfavorable working conditions
Nine hundred visits per second ... no wonder
he gets stressed, sweaty and red at the top

Listen here my friends
Everything you need, is a red hat and white beard
Santa needs your support 
but, remember to keep distance, face mask and gloves
