On the Holiday Throne



This miserable old fat man
should step down and bow out
As he forgot what image he represents 
Throw him out in the waste can
As his attitude is not what it's all about.

When representing The jolly old man
and the love and compassion he shares.
It takes an open mind and tender heart.
As Santa has a loving and kind reputation.
Children wait all year long to sit in his chair.

No child should ever be shunned or rejected
Especially by people thought to have authority .
Which Santa is someone kids look up to.
A moment of his time and smile in expected
by all wanting to believe in his legend and story  .

Santa himself has reindeer for his pets.
He loves and enjoys all living things
He does not judge from public opinions.
or jump to conclusions and have regrets.
As we know from the song the kids sing.

So if you plan to sit on the Holiday throne
Then think of the children you are going to greet
They have wide eyes and high hopes and trust
They are all different and may be alone
but want to be accepted by people they meet.

G'day Bonnie... It appears that you had, or witnessed a distressing situation that like you wrote, should never occur with children at this special time for them. Nicely put together Bonnie. Regards - Lindsay

Yes I have. and in some cases but not this one I was actually the kid to get rejected or turned away from enjoying what others kids my ages would have fun with. and it wasn't my parents saying no I couldn't but others doing it
