Father Christmas was flirting with fate On accepting for once a blind date In the park on a bench He sat waiting to quench His desires but she was very late. Snow was falling and that made it worse This encounter was surely a curse She turned up past mid night Found him rigid and white In a panic she called for a hearse! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The Park Bench Christmas Contest Hosted by Sara Kendrick ~ Pict. 3 © 4th December 2018

Wow. This is dark. I guess Karma got him for cheating on Ms. Claus ;)
