Santa's dilemma

Jingle bells jingle bells Dear Santas lost all hope. For the world that he once knew As sadly now gone Woke. It used to be so easy When there were only girls and boys. But now there's many more genders He'd rather be unemployed. So soon he'll be retiring Along with his reindeers who. No longer want to be a part Of a world that's become unscrewed.

John, We need to use some common sense. This shouldn't be a big deal, and yes, woke has gone overboard. We also do know that gay and trans people have been around since creation. However, if we understand our society and those who would use this issue to generate anger, we should all be careful to act rationally. My 2 cents. I've seen both sides of this issue...it can get people riled up.

Hi John, sad to say all is true in your poem, the world is full of misfits and cruelty and flooding, and mudslides and criminals, and, and, and children who no longer believe in a lot of things, including Santa. Our planet is somewhat unhinged at present especially when listening to the media. Blessings my friend.

What on earth would children do - If Santa went away - Who would deliver presents - On Jesus Christs birthday. - The world would be very sad - Unhappy and forlorn - To see the kiddies crying - The day that Christ was born…… Sis Beryl

And how evil raises its wicked head as it goes to the nth degree! Keep hands off our children. Schools should be teaching them. Plus nefarious parents could have their child go through a sex change to hurt them etc… Anyone who does evil to the least will wish they only had a rock tied around their neck etc… for God will surely take vengeance.

What would one give to a transgender person for a gift? I should ask Terry Flood, for he'll write a novelette about it. lol Enjoyed your humor, John.

You are so right my friend this world is disgraceful. Years ago if someone had thoughts of being the opposite gender they were considered having mental issues and would be sent to a psychiatrist for help. Now whoever wrote this new book on behavior encourages demented sex changes and goes as far as encouraging children without parents consent who are easily influenced to get a sex change operation. This is the world that we live in and these abominations will bring our Savior back. Thanks John.

Hi Jan,l wrote this awhile ago but never had the nerve to post here goes.... There's only two genders , In all their glory, That's Male and Female, End of story, So let's be honest, and make this clear, If you say there isn't, Then you must be Queer.
