When Santa Visited the Elf Inn

When Santa visited The Elf  Inn.
He was taken quite aback.
The  landlord said 'Leave  now you're barred
And don't ever come back.'

Santa  said 'What is the reason for the ban?'
Came the reply 'Last time you were here
You drank my sherry and ate the mince pies
Then you had the cheek to criticise my beer'

Santa said 'To be fair in my defense
I only did what a ticker should do
And I was really generous
Giving that rank ale a two.

But the landlord became annoyed
And threw Santa out on the street
Where he fell upon his bum
In the wintery rain and sleet.

So Santa went to the Snowman Arms
Where his welcome was cheery and warm
He even received a kiss on the lips
From regular All In Sean.

Congrat. Enjoyable poem and interesting characters. I liked to visit the Elf Inn. Imagery sometimes construes analogies of experience. Actually all your verses (I have visited just some ones, yet) wear a special light.

Your imagery is quite clear and your point well written. Sad how reality bites.
