Old Man!

No, I ain’t gonna sit in your lap.
Don’t want no presents, no gifts,
don’t need no old man to give my skirt a lift.
You got a belly like jelly,
and crumbs in your beard.
And what's that smell? Wet reindeer?
And it’s none of your business
if I’ve been naughty or nice.
Sober up, fool, and go home to you wife.
Your cheeks are all rosy, your eyes have a shine,
I know that look...too much wine.
And breaking into houses,
that, dummy, is a crime.
I just came over to say...
that you, old man, you're in my way,
so move that god-forsaken sleigh?

It's not just me who sees something sinister about an old man persuading children to come into his grotto and sit on his knee then?

Nice job!

Poor Santa. Bah Humbug, who needs a Jolly Ole Elf?
You did a great job with this.
