Tribunal

You shouldn’t have been sacked So I’m glad that we could meet I think I’ve got it cracked Won’t you please take a seat You cannot be dismissed Just because your boss is vexed For if you work one Christmas Then you shouldn’t work the next December twenty-fourth and fifth Just two days off this year That’s called unfair dismissal And we can help you here I’d say we have a case For it’s against employment laws So let’s take down some details What’s your first name Mr Claus?

You are right; the Big Boss can't lose, plus he has the support of millions of children who will not accept christmas presents every other year! Clever! Aloha!

Very cute, Terry. I doubt if that gent can claw his job back, however. Season's Joy, Gershon

Well, as Santa’s boss is likely to be the big man upstairs, I doubt he would win his case. All the best for the coming year, Gershon. Terry
