Who’s Killing All The Santa’s?????

They once stood bright and tall

Wearing their beards of white and their suits of red,

But now for some demented and callous reason,

Hundreds and hundreds of Santa’s are turning up dead.

I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what to do,

I tried to report these crimes, but I think the police of me misconstrue d.

When I called the officer said to me “you want to do what?”

Then to them I said “listen to me, all the Santa’s in our town are turning up dead.

He laughed a bit and then exclaimed, “Buddy, you must be out of your head.”

Now I really did not know where to turn from here.

 Crimes had taken place and I felt the demise of Frosty was also near.

It was then that I recalled from not too long back,

about a detective from New Jersey who with difficult cases had a knack.

His name was Ruff ‘N Ready Rufuz Pet Detective and his human sidekicks name Ed Matlock…errr I mean Ed Matlack.

So post haste to the phone I went and dialed information for the agency number

and then I prayed out loud that they too would not think of me as a quack.

Matlock answered the phone and said that Rufuz was Ready but not at home,

However he felt sure that he would take the case if I provided all the “Milkbone”

Alas to this I agreed, and down South into Dixie they came with God’s speed.

Two days now on the Case Santa they have been and still not a single lead.

So at present I have no clue how Santa ended up dead this way.

yet to my chilling horror still I saw three dead reindeer today.
