WHEN SANTA CAME TO BENARTY

WHEN SANTA CAME TO BENARTY Santa came to Benarty One cold and stormy night The snow and clouds that gathered Made Santa ground his flight. He landed behind the graveyard In Dallas Doyle Park, He came down with such a loud crash He made a few dogs bark. The snow was really heavy As he grabbed his sack of toys, I`ll have to deliver on foot tonight For all the girls and boys. I`ll make my way round Kirktoun Park Then through ST,Kenneths school, Drop presents of at Stevensons farm And avoid the farmers bull. A quick trip down to Dunmore Place And the tap end round by Moe`s, From Martin Crescent to Kildownie He can hardly feel his toes. Then down the lane to Westwood Crescent And along Ballingry Road, Then through all the kirklands to the community shop To lighten up his load. Now Kirktoun Street and Malcolm Street And up to Cleikimin, Seamark Place and Elders Knowe All welcome Santa in. The stars were shining through the clouds As the storm began to clear, And the sight of Rudolph over Craigy Street Brought Santa Christmas cheer. He climbed back on his sleigh And refilled up his sack, Then flew around the Meedies And into Garry Park. A left turn after Manse Road Then over Sweeney Heights, Then Castle Avenue and Inchgall To drop a pair of bikes. A quick stop over Kutz Where Santa gets his trim, They clip his moustache and his beard And keep his eyebrows trim. A loop the loop around Park Street To drop of G.I. Joe`s, Then down the chimney at Bootique Dogs Where the Reindeer clip their toes. Then Denholm Way and MuckleStane Court Then of up to Lochore, And swing left at the Institute With plenty presents more. From Abbotsford Road to Oliver Street He`s got every pit house done, Durward Mannering and Ivanhoe He never missed no one. Then once around Montrose Crescent And Melrose Gardens to, Then a visit to the Riding Stables As Comets lost a shoe. Then back up Crosshill Main Street And then Lochleven road, Scott Place Marmion and Loanhead Then stop to check his load. They land behind Baynes the Bakers Beneath clear Benarty skies, The reindeer snack on Carrots And Santa has mince pies. Then to Budgies disco in the Red Goth Where the party`s still alive, Then gets hit by a dozen snowballs As he flies round Rosewell Drive. Then up and around Balbedie And into Ballingry Crescent, Then back to Ore bank Cafe To leave the girls a present. Drop into Bonnars garage Then Flockhouse old and new, Leave toys and dolls and balls of slime And icky sticky goo. From Marshall Place to Woodstock Place To Craigy Malcolm Path, To drop a dolly house hold set With a hot tub and a bath. Loch Leven Terrace Gardens and Place They are in bed for half past ten, If Santa has extra presents He`ll fly back down again. Every private house and bungalow The presents are a plenty, Then he rubs his back and tips his hat To Angelo Valente. Marshal Place and Capledrae And Southfield Avenue, Then Benarty School to Ben ore To get the old folks to. Then last but not least the Hill Road And into Navitie Park, With scooters and skateboards all around To play on at the park. Now he`s back to where he landed But he has to double back, With a nice retirement present For our own Willie Clarke. He gets his list and checks it twice As there’s still presents in his sack, Mcginlay Clune and Cathrine Terrace So he`ll have to double back. But before he gets to Glencraig He knows just what to do, Go down the chimneys at ST Ronans cresent And Benarty Avenue. With Benarty done and dusted now But on his back seat sits a telly, It must be for his next stop As he heads towards Lochgelly. Merry Christmas Benarty Santa shouts out from his sleigh, Peace and goodwill to everyone On this Christmas day. THE END.
