Busted

Busted When Santa got stuck down the chimney What a terrible fright for young lives Imagine the sight that then met them Imagine their awful surprise. With a crash and a thump and a holler A bang and a whoosh and a boom The magical globe trotting Santa Daintily entered their room! He landed full square in their fireplace His hat flopped down over his eyes He looked really much more like Black Beard Except he was double the size. The children sat up in amazement Then hid and peeped through a crack As this unfortunate dirty old Santa Was hit on the head by his sack. The air turned quite blue for a moment When he finally uttered a cry I’ve hurt every bone in my body Was the gist of what he implied Now Rudolph looked down from above him Shook his head and then let out a sigh Get up you clumsy old has been We still have work left to do tonight. Well Santa looked right up that chimney His plight became clear in a flash He was stuck with his sack at the bottom And didn’t know how to get back. The children, still hid in the corner Just couldn’t believe what they saw As this dirty old Santa recovered Did his job and then limped out the door. They watched as he climbed out the window His suit now completely akimbo But Rudolph was there with the sleigh and a spare He now had clean clothes to change into. Once more Rudolph rescued the big man Stamped his hoof, got him out of his whirl Threatened to leave less he focus You know, of course, Rudolph’s a girl!!!! The children got up in the morning Frustrated, annoyed and distressed, For their bedroom looked just like a bombsite Where two sacks of gifts had been left Despite having left him a message Stating ‘ please do not leave so much trash, We are modern day children remember What we want is a cheque or some cash’

This is a great poem. Good work. I suspect the reason it didn't get a 1 was because it didn't quite fit the bill for children. I liked it very much. Love, Joyce
