Ode to Santa - The story of the economy and Santa

[Gonzo]

Ode to Santa and the Economy

 

 

There goes Santa, running for his sleigh;

Hes gotta run fast, to get away.

 

You see, the economy has struck the North Pole as well;

The elves are on strike, and his wife is givin' em' hell.

 

These days when Santa appears at the local department store;

Its not just for fun or photos, but for gifts he needs to score.

 

He'll check the store layout and make a quick dash;

Why even Santa max'd out his credit card and is low on cash.

 

So off he goes, into the night;

To find those gifts, and get out of sight.

 

Now, hes not going to make a whole lot of stops;

Cause look out Santa here comes the cops.

 

Santa leaps to his sleigh and flys far into the night;

Carrying all those gifts, on his yearly flight.

 

Way into the morning, the police search high and low;

Only to find a few tracks left in the snow.

 

You'll hear all the alarms blaring, late into the night;

But old Saint Nick will be long gone, and clean out of sight.

 

Santa has to be quick, to have it done by Christmas Eve;

So many gifts, and so many places to be

 

The presents will be wrapped, and the tags will be off;

Cause old Santa is very careful, not to get caught.

 

So check your presents, early on Christmas day;

(Keep it hush-hush if they're from Santa, OK...?)

 

Now, I dont know if Old Saint Nick, stopped at your house or not;

But If he did

.....THOSE GIFTS ARE . . . HOT ! !

Gonzo: I thought it was recently done to effect the economy which is still not doing that great. Santa should be doing better these days if he had money invested in the stock market!

I guess the economy hasn't really done much for old Santa since I wrote this so long ago. LOL
