Santa"s Works Night Out. a Cautionary Tale

At last it has arrived, 
let there be no doubt. 
That everyone goes crazy 
at the Christmas staff night out. 

Now Santa took the sleigh. 
He did not stop to think. 
For that was very foolish 
with all that food and drink! 

Tooth fairy looked real nice 
so did the pantomime dames, 
but Grinch was asked to leave 
for calling Santa names. 

The leprechauns told anecdotes 
in the spirit of Bob Hope. 
The snowmen all got stoned 
by passing round the dope. 

Santa told rude jokes! 
and some were even funny. 
But everyone avoided 
that randy Easter Bunny. 

Jack Frost he was concerned, 
told the Elves what he was thinking. 
"That Santa"s getting drunk, 
he is doing to much drinking." 

When the meal was over, 
the MC he did stand . 
"Will you welcome live on stage, 
The Boogie Man and his band." 

The celebrations ended. 
"Get on your merry way." 
Santa staggered out 
to try and find his sleigh. 

The reindeer headed home 
they knew the way to go. 
They did not stop to think, 
to take it kind of slow. 

Santa started singing 
a chorus of Wild Rover. 
When flashing lights appeared 
and he was soon pulled over. 

"Lets see your drivers licence 
and please put out that ***." 
"Step out of the vehicle 
and blow in to this bag." 

Oh Santa was locked up. 
You should have heard him wail. 
"You have to let me out, 
you have to give me bail." 

His sentence will be soon 
lets hope the courts a fan. 
For what will happen next year? 
If he gets a driving ban.! 

Poor old Santa Clause 
it is a sorry tale. 
He got community service, 
instead of going to jail! 

By all means leave a carrot. 
A glass of milk I think. 
But don"t encourage Santa 
by leaving out a DRINK!
