SNOW PATROL

SNOW PATROL

It was late on Christmas night
All was silent and no sound
Santa Claus was running late
And he was in such a state
His sleigh had run aground
It was for all, a terrible plight

With more presents to deliver
With mince pies he was so full
The sleigh it weighed so much
All it needed was a lighter touch
So his reindeer again could pull
But so cold, he began to shiver

In the sky was a flashing light
Then a breakdown elf arrived
The elf soon fixed the sleigh 
And then all were on their way
So relieved that they’d survived
And that it all turned out alright
