Down the chimney old Santa came crashing
With a sack full of toys simply smashing
But it wasn't a joke
For the now broke old bloke
Whose cheques naughty Santa's been cashing!
This reckless new style Robin hood
Is held as an icon of good
It is not right to laud
An elf guilty of fraud
Just for wearing a fur lined red hood
A grouchy old rabbit "E. Bunny"
Says that it should be his money
Candies and sweets
And chocolate treats
Would make the whole springtime seem sunny
A fairy who looks for old teeth
(Did she ever visit you Keith?)
Said if she had the cash
That she's leave a stash
On each pillow, no better beneath
The judge in the case looked quite stern
Said that these crooks must all learn
This isn't a fantasy
The money is Santa's see
The rest of you get out and earn!
Author notes
Santa was found not guilty the man who claimed they were his cheques turned out to be someone called G.Rinch and the cheques were all planted on Santa.

Thanks for your entry
Well your first stanza was a little rough but as you went along the flow and rhythm started to build and improved. The first stanza I was not sure where you were going. It seemed like something was left out. Nice job though and I liked the author notes lol. They sumed it up pretty well.
God Bless and Merry Christmas

Looks like Santa's a bit of a fraud
One more disappointment. Oh God!
I thought that the guy
Was as straight as a die
Not a nasty conniving old sod

Excellent FUN Writing
I am glad Santa was evicted
Oh, oh, I mean -- not convicted
That is good
Now we should
Restore the way Santa is depicted------------

LOL
I don't know where I should begin
I think that this must be a sin
I really had to stop and pause
When you made fun of Santa Clause
But all and all I had to grin

Santa Claus was framed you see
The local judge has set him free
It seems that he's not loved by all
Some other fae-folk spoiled the ball
Santa's always good and true
He knows the right things all should do
But Easter Bunny and his friends
It seems are after other ends!
