SANTAS LITTLE SKELF
Santa’s Little Skelf
Santa Clause is here again It`s almost Christmas day
But Santa has a problem he can’t sit on his sleigh.
Every time he sits down he jumps up from his seat
He`s been standing up so long he`s now got aching feet.
I think I`ll try a soft seat as he sits down on the couch
But just as Santa sat down he cried a mighty ouch.
He leaped so high he bumped his head when he felt the stinging pain
Poor Santa started to wonder if he`d ever sit down again.
Papa elf was worried about all the girls and boys
If Santa couldn`t ride his sleigh they won’t get any toys,
We’ve got to get to the bottom of this said Santa with a frown
I`m afraid I have no choice but to take my red breeks down.
There must be something sharp in the seat of Santa`s pants
Could it be a needle or a pair of angry Ants?
They searched them high and low and even turned them inside out
But they couldn’t find the object that made poor Santa shout.
Maybe I`ll buy some new ones as he sat down on the chair
Then a stinging pain went through his butt and he flew right through the air.
Then the elf had an idea as he stopped to think and pause
I know what the problem is but It`s a job for Mrs Clause.
So they put poor Santa to his bed and laid him on his tum
Then Mrs Clause got her magnifying glass to look at Santa`s bum.
Santa was feeling worried as he looked at Papa elf
Then with a shiny pair of tweezers she pulled out Santa`s skelf.
A tiny piece of timber that came from Santa`s sleigh
But at least I`ll get a seat now as I`ve been on my feet all day.
We will rub down Santa`s sleigh and get a plaster for his bum
Then fill his sack with presents and toys for everyone.
So sleep tight boys and girls as Santa`s on his way
It will take more than a little skelf to cancel Christmas day.
He`s flying through the night sky with a cushion for his bum
Ho Ho Ho and jingle bells merry Christmas everyone.
THE END
