Santa Goes Commercial

Santa was a fat cat
Who gave all his wealth away,
Taking toys to boys and girls
With his reindeer and red sleigh.
The pricey gifts for which kids asked
Put Santa in the hole.
He had to get himself a job
To stay off of the dole. 
So now you find him hawking wares
Before Thanksgiving Day,
He knows he has to hustle
If he hopes to fill that sleigh.



 Won 3rd place  multiple tie .
