SANTA'S SHUT UP SHOP

By Josie Whitehead

Santa's Shut Up Shop

Santa's job was just too much -
     In fact he'd had his day
And the cost of keeping six reindeer?
     'It costs too much for hay!'

​

Santa grumbled all year round:
     'The job has got too hard,
And what about my poor old sleigh
     That's standing in my yard?'

​

'So, have YOU seen the cost of sleighs?
     I'm sure you'd be amazed!
The children's lists just grow and grow.
     They want so much these days!'

​

Someone heard poor Santa's words.
     'I've got a good idea.
What not sell your toys online?
      It's easier my dear.'

​

'You get them sent to people's homes
      By lorry, truck or van,
And take it easy, poor old man.
     Relax whilst you still can!'

​

So don't expect to hear a sleigh
     Arrive on Christmas Eve.
Now Amazon plays Santa's role -
     Well that's what I believe!
