Santa’s woes

You know something? We all complain these days because our jobs have become so much more complicated. The demands seem too great and our energy level is not up to this new century and all its responsibilities. What do you think Santa thinks each year as his job becomes more complicated, too?


Poem Artwork

 
It’s the night before Christmas and the reindeer are harnessed
Santa is busy rummaging through his book of addresses
 
He has grown older and tired and this trip seems so problematic
He used to get into houses through fireplace flews or through the attic
 
The homes these days don’t have fireplaces or upper floors
These days he has to pick locks and sneak in through the doors
 
On top of this, Santa must be careful not to set off burglar alarms
It’s so much more complex these days to bring kiddies their lucky charms
 
Parents these days tell their children that bearded men are to be feared
So Santa may just be met with rudeness or jeered
 
But still he sees his sleigh loaded and ready to go
And sets out on his voyage with a Ho- Ho- Ho- HO

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
