Away In a Sleigh
Listen to poem:
Away in a sleigh
No gifts for today
Santa's gone on holiday
Reindeer unyoked, stray
Mr Claus found a clause
In his contract, to pause,
When boots on reindeer paws
Were threadbare without cause
So folks, its pick-up collect
No delivery to home direct
No gifts in stockings decked
Myth of fee-free delivery wrecked
Mr Claus searched high and low
Tried every courier, fast and slow
But the sticking point for no go
Was chimney drop, to down below
The reindeer are lowing
Stars in sky are glowing
Cause Mr Claus forgoing
Has taken up sewing
