Santa Makes an Early Christmas

       There was Santa making his rounds
          ten nights early, dashing about town

       Neighbors chased him, in hot pursuit
          but Santa was finished dispersing his loot

       They flagged him down at a neighborhood bar
          protesting his behavior so bizarre

       What was he doing December 14, out and about?
          Holding up his hand, as he downed another shot

       Smiling Santa said, “Enough of ‘chimney-irritation,’
           This Christmas I’m in Florida on vacation.”

That's ok. Maybe the Chanukah elf will show up later. (Chanukah and Christmas overlap this year).
