Safety Claus

Dear Santa is in a dilemma 
And we're making our way through December 
His wish list is long 
And he's getting things wrong 
As he's finding it hard to remember. 

Last year, Julie got an action man 
Little Johnny got a Doll and pram 
Then little Tom 
Knew something was wrong 
When Santa never turned up as planned. 

So Rudolph is now taking the reins 
Hopefully things will certainly change 
Then the girls and boys 
Will receive the right toys 
Rather than the other way round.

Beryl Edmonds Date: 12/8/2024 1:28:00 PM Rudolph is delighted he’ll drive the sleigh - He’s prayed for the honour by night and day - His red nose glows bright - It’s his guiding light - And he’s mistletoe tucked safely away…….

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 12/8/2024 7:41:00 AM Perhaps it is time for Santa to retire and hand over the reins, Rudolph who be a good choice but I think maybe Mrs. Claus could help out for a bit and apply for the post. She's a real poppet. BlESSNGS, John, Jennifer.

Tom Cunningham Date: 12/8/2024 7:02:00 AM I blame the parents for leaving a glass of whiskey instead of milk, must admit I was guilty of doing that too. Lol. Hope your weekend is going well John. Tom Login to Reply John Read Date: 12/8/2024 8:39:00 AM Hi Tom, if dear old Santa gets a whisky at every home, maybe it would be a good idea to let Rudolph take control lol,have a lovely evening Tom.
