elephant santa was personable but

Elephant Santa was much slower than our old Santa Fred
You may get your Christmas presents in a week or two said Ned.
He’s slow, but jolly, said the one who had hired him.
He had wanted to save money, this skinflint named Jim.

We were not that happy about Christmas that year.
Some of us did not get our presents until after New Year cheer.
Elephant Santa was a sweet guy, personable and all.
But Roary raccoon got his Christmas presents in the fall.
