Holiday Fun

Santa was fast asleep in the workshop
When a prankster caused a balloon to POP
It was that naughty elf
Who now sits on a shelf
But can't cause trouble cuz he's just a prop

No others liked that creepy little troll
Shelving him would keep him under control
Mrs. Claus said to me,
"That one's such a bully!
He doesn't belong here at the North Pole!"

Somehow, he got loaded on Santa's sleigh
And after the reindeer had flown away
He tried to take the reins
Santa put him in chains
'Ho, ho, ho." He dropped him on the freeway

OMG, jeez that's capital punishment for you!! I started to wonder about it and it seems the term relates to having your head cut off! A very funny ending and just shows how risky flying can be! Lin, you have a great sense of humor, and I am hoping we don't have too many of these characters floating around...but they seem to be cloning themselves as if in a horror movie. Later and smiles!!

It's more than his head cut off that one needed, Duke. Look at those beady evil eyes. When I saw that face it reminded me of Chucky. lol. Sometimes my sense of humor gets a titch too dark, but in this case, it was warranted. Waking Santa was the least of his bad deeds.

Blimey, I think he should make his way to Elf and Safety. Enjoyed Santa’s foray into Elficide, Lin. Good luck in the contest. Terry

Nah, he didn't deserve to get off that freeway in one piece. Tom's 'Splat' was a perfect end to that one. What I didn't write was what Mrs. Claus knew about that one and what he said to her. lol "Elficide" ha, Terry.
