Why Santa Rarely Visits Mauritania
Mauritania is a country to which I don't often go
'cos my name is Santa ~ Ho, ho, ho!
90% of its territory is in the Sahara Desert
to survive the heat, I'd have to remove my shirt
Which, no doubt, would cause a commotion
mostly mine, having created an ocean
of sweat, trickling down from my beard to my feet
and, by the way: Anything in Mauritania for me to eat?
