Santa's Dilemma Poem.

SANTA’S  DILEMMA         

Christmas eve and sledge packed with gifts,

Santa and his Elves set off in snowy drifts,

To deliver games and toys,

For all good little girls and boys.

-----------------------

In and out of windows and chimney pots,

Santa leaves gifts for Children and Tiny Tots,

Having a quick drink and a mince-pie,

Helps him on his way through the night sky.

---------------------

Then half way through their trip,

Santa heard an almighty rip,

His trousers had ripped front to back,

Due to a broken toy sticking out from a sack.

-----------------------

Now a quick detour Santa had to take,

So another toy could the good Fairies could make,

Also a visit to the good Fairy Queen,

As a stitch in time saved his underwear from being seen.
