Santa’s Red Badge
Ho, ho, ho and hey, hey, hey,
Here comes Santa on his sleigh
This happy man has quite a task
Delivering what children ask
Here and there and in and out
When all is dark, no-one’s about
But nighttime's when the cars are there
On every street and every square
Finding spaces all takes time
In short supply as clocks they chime
Not every roof can take his sleigh
Imagine what those reindeer weigh
Parking then at night sometimes
Santa parks on double lines
They’ve made a change to the parking laws
I think it’s called the Santa Clause.

Neville, nice rhyme and nice story.
Despite the change in the laws
I do hope that Santa Claus
And his mighty reindeer sleigh
Don’t cause a big traffic delay
By double-parking next to an empty spot
Because I really do hate that a lot. -

Thanks Ginette. Just a little seasonal froth, but fun to write nonetheless.
