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?
