Was Santa pushed? let the Jury decide The Jury are gunning for Terry's hide Terry then started to wail Because they denied him bail They then charged him with violent Santacide. "Not guilty you cretins it wasn't me" Judge asked" are you pleading insanity "? While the Judge was distracted Terry moved quick and acted Hopped over the court railing and was free. For now anyway Written 30th November 2022

I’m preparing to give myself up. I have received a confession that should clear my name. I, er, he just needs to edit it. ;-)

Mm we're open to all lines of enquiry and the 'perpetrator' will be found. Good news though, Santa's heart miraculously started so it's a lesser charge of assault lol. Could you pass it on to er whoever you think may have done the deed. He has to live or poems about him leading up to Christmas will look silly ho ho ho. Tom
