Notes About The Poem

Wanted For the Foul Murder of Santa Claus

I am not applying for Santa's job
It is lies that's coming from Mr Floods gob
But there's drone footage as proof 
Terry pushed him off the roof
And a large sack with bricks in he did lob.

Theres a warrant out for Terry Flood
All the kids in the world want his blood 
His evil scheming will fail
There's a top cop on his trail
His scheme will crash to earth with a thud.

Don't spare that "wicked murderer". Terry needs to be punished. Even if the top cop spares him, children waiting for gifts wont ! :)

Lol, he will be punished, first we got to find him as he escaped from court, don't worry, our top people are on the case. Tom

Aha! But I can’t be in two places at once, and I was with Ice Cream Gran all night… for DUM DUM DUMmmm I AM ice cream Gran. Besides, I cannot tell a lie, ask my pet camel, Huckleberry Humpyhound.

You can't blame this on your 'twin' Terry, the camera never lies. Ice cream gran will be interviewed in the course of our investigations in this grave matter. The mayors office has said it cannot comment further whilst investigations are ongoing. But I can say for the benefit of the children that a faint heartbeat has been detected in Santa, so the charge of murder may be wounding with intent, either way when you come out of hiding appoint yourself a good lawyer lol.

Oh, now I see... Terry's even naughtier than Bad Santa. My latest limericks will set him straight... Santa Lives! Terry tried to do him in, blame it on you... what a schemer. I'm not sure if Santa is dead or alive now. Maybe Terry will be facing attempted murder. It'll come out at the trial if Santa shows up as the star witness.

Thanks Jenna, I think he's really the Grinch and tried to deflect any blame by making wild accusations about me, if I was in any way found guilty of wrongdoing I'd step down as mayor, and you could frogmarch me outta town lol.
