Breaking Headline News This Xmas Eve 2017
After a top secret clandestine conclave,
one or more eight Reindeer forsake

which Santa Claus immediately claimed
to be “FAKE” and accused (Jake)
i.e. Jacob Marley concocted game over,
every doe done (possibly really espy
from Charles Dickens renown “A Christmas Carol”
comprised of under currents,
asper what might appear as placid lake
which proclamation, he immediately
alluded, directed, reputed Putin to make
which Russian leader
fed rumor mill to rattle and quake
an entablature, fixture,
signature jais nais sais quois linch pin,
which quintessential, prominent,
off limits agitation slake
thirst of said tyrannical uber Voldemort, who glowed
(like the nose of Rudolph), and cherished
folklore idolized love,
would be in seventh heaven to take
credit, which resignation could pronounce grief
and keep children a wake
across the world wide web an a palling gloomy dark
shadow falls heavy across the entire glommed globe,
where even the hark
cunning angels experience a mark
kid lee downcast misery even affecting plants,
whereat trees slumped over in every park
and nary a solution
to tempt motley crue to avoid such stark
