Santa Burglar Courtesy an Unknown Artist

Cat Burglar Santa

Who is the greatest cat burglar of all?

No one will admit to answer that call.

But I have it on authority from what I heard,

that it might be Santa who flies like a bird.

For somehow, he sneaks down south to all believers,

giving presents to even bad kids and underachievers.

With amazing speed and stealthful slight.

Accomplishing it all in one starlit night.

Of course, he uses the Internet to speed him along,

GPS is helpful to find kids singing Rudolph's song.

Fireplaces and chimneys are easy to enter.

Other places Santa finds sooner or later.

Basements, open windows, cracks and more,

there's no abode that Santa can't quickly explore.

Leaving no evidence except crumbs and empty glass,

for his burglarizing milk and cookies, Santa gets a pass.

For Santa is welcome to break into kids houses,

he gives more than he gets, like crumbs for mouses.

So who is the greatest cat burglar of all?

It’s Santa of course, but you shouldn't tell.

The cat isn't telling and he ought to know.

He's got your tongue, if you let rumors grow.
