Grandpa
small time farmer
always sickling weeds
from road looked like grim reaper
scary
There was once a sane Santa, a Viking
Reindeer driving his sleigh were all sickling
His ride went helter-skelter
Two broke their love-locked antler
Why he donned those as horns he’d no inkling.

There was once a Santa Claus, a Viking
Reindeer driving his sleigh were all sickling
His ride went helter-skelter
Two broke their love-locked antler
Why he donned these as horns he’d no inkling.
