The New Santa Claus

I'm locking up my house, because it's that time for thieves. I need to Santa proof my place, because It's Christmas Eve. If he does get in, I'm going to run and hide. I left out some milk and cookies with rat pellets inside. While he's eating the cookies and he's starting to sweat. The reindeer will be caught in security nets. "I'm sorry boys and girls, but Santa has to retire!" I'm going to tie him to the tree and set poor Santa on fire. Then I'm going to take the toys and keep them all to myself. Even though I've been bad, no coals will be on my shelf. Merry Christmas to me! This year is going to be grand! I'll get whatever I want, if Christmas goes as I planned! Wearing Santa Claus' suite I'll get in houses without keys. In twenty seven minutes I'll rob twenty seven trees! So all you little brats, don't you cry and sob. With the recession and depression, I just needed a job. A lot of things are going to change, but you all shouldn't be sad. Now that I'm the new Santa, It doesn't matter who's bad. I'll use the elves as my slaves and the toys will still come. Instead of a Nintendo, you'll get a gallon of rum. Toy guns are for babies, how about the real thing? A candy neckless won't impress, I'll make sure that it's bling. You said you wanted a pony? How about a deer that can fly? No more lousy presents, no more socks, or bad ties. I'll change... Wait... Wait a minute... Was that all just a dream? Why do I only have coal under the tree and in my stocking? Santa please come back! I promse I'll be better next year! I promise I'll be good and I'll spred more Christmas cheer! Did Santa Claus come back? Did he come like I thought he should? No Santa didn't, but next year I'll be good! I'll only do what is right, aleast to his satisfaction. So he comes back to my house, and my plan goes back into action!
