Meltdown At the North Pole

Due to extreme conditions beyond Santa Claus' control, 'Tis rumored that he might have to vacate his home at the Pole! Seems that climate warming is the culprit causing the Pole to thaw, Which could result in Santa's operation from thence to withdraw! Mrs. Claus would welcome this news should it happen to occur, Since she's suffered isolation and cold more than she ought to endure! Where he might relocate has been a matter of some speculation. Could the South Pole be his new address to continue his vocation? This dire situation is causing much hand wringing and ways to contrive, To rescue the North Pole and keep the Santa Claus tradition alive! Of course the UN, Congress and Al Gore will butt in to have their say, As to where old Santa should locate his workshops and reliable sleigh! Never mind that these people can never reach a consensus at all! Perhaps a panel of kids is more qualified to make this far-reaching call! Robert L.

Another great Christmas poem Bob. He should move his workshops to wherever the labor costs are lowest and there is no union activity. Why not? Most American corporations have already done that.

Oh my! I hope Santa's Pole is saved Robert, and yes let's leave it to the kids to sort out. At least it would be done with heart :)

Your wit and wisdom always amaze and delight me Bob. I hope when Santa relocates he takes the polar bears with him as they suffer too.

Yes, let's let the kids decide it! (Al Gore can second the emotion. I happen to be one of his fans!)
