Department Store Santa

I knew a fellow who played Santa Claus
He hated department stores just because
Kids were insightful, but
Sometimes a bit spiteful
And his snow white beard was made out of gauze.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 12/12/2021 5:00:00 PM I wonder if any department stores do this? “Kids are insightful”- so true.

Gershon Wolf Date: 12/11/2021 4:33:00 PM I think that department-store Santas have a 'no-bite clause.' Tee-hee, Elf Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 12/11/2021 6:24:00 PM I should hope they do. Children can be rather trying at times and they are under a lot of stress to be happy when they go to see Santa...and they don't see people like him every day, you know.
