Mean Rumor About Santa

A mean ugly rumor was started about Santa Claus
It zoomed around the world with nary a pause
Gossips added to it, making it worse and worse
When Mrs. Claus heard it, she took out her purse

She recorded people and followed the rumor back
To a disgraced elf who was hiding in Santa’s sack
He was ashamed, when he met her kindly eyes
Horribly embarrassed, he soon apologized.

His wife knew what to do - I always follow rumors back and find the one who started it because they can "never remember who told it to them". Sure!

LOL! Good one! Now what was that rumor. Perhaps he said “Santa’s retiring.”
