Christmas Poems

 Christmas Poems

Then out from the stables there arose such a clatter

But the RSPCA were there to see what was the matter

There in the stables Santa found a sight quite strange

NO reindeer to be found, they now were free range

This gave them more energy to get the sleigh lifted

Heaven knows they need it ‘cause Santa’s horizontally gifted

But what of the reindeer like Doner and Cupid

They’re running free, you know they’re not stupid

Since been released they’re flying much faster

All this because of the fresh greener pasture

But now because of work embargoes

Santa can’t use Rudolf’s red nose

When delivering presents he’ll have to move fast

Or else get caught and charged with trespass.

But there’s still time for cookies, milk and not beer

Cause the booze buses are out in force this year

It’s no good for Santa to blow .05

Then he’ll have to be a passenger, Mrs Claus will have to drive

Santa’s sleigh full of gadgets it’s become hi-tech

There’ll be no need for the RTA to inspect

But still it can fly and he speeds round the Earth

Attracting the tides with his sizeable girth

All the while the sleigh sounds like thunder

Following the stars ‘til he gets down under

But now down under what will he choose

To use trusted reindeer or six kangaroos

But this might start a demarcation dispute

So he’ll have to travel in an old Holden ute

Driving around with boardies and shades

Making deliveries as the night starts to fade

And as he makes it home this Christmas morn

Just as the dawn breaks he starts to yawn.

Another Christmas done and dusted

Now it’s time for pudding and custard

Putting the reindeer to pasture and the sleigh in the shed

And now it’s time for bed for Big Red.
