Santa May Be A Tad Late This Year

Kiddies, I'm sorry to say that Santa may be visiting you late this year, As he struggles to circle the Earth spreading his delightful cheer! Santa had to retire Rudoloph and his friends leaving them much aggrieved, And long-suffering Mrs Claus is in a snit and left sorely peeved! It may be New Years Day before he arrives, but he'll visit you eventually, So place a snack of cookies and milk or salami and cheese 'neath the tree! That old grinch in the White House decreed that dear old Santa's sleigh, Henceforth, must be battery powered, to be effective on this Christmas Day! Alas, Santa must land every 350 miles or so, the battery to refresh! (Hopefully, he can do this in such unlikely places as Bangladesh)! No longer will you hear reindeer hooves dancing on your roof in the snow! But be patient, little ones; Santa will greet you soon with a cheery ho-ho-ho!

Golly, this is clever Bob. And refect cimate cintrol madness. One ofthe ways governments get to control us by copiousa amounts of lying and controlling. Now I know it won’t happen, Santa Claus because I don’t believe he’s real. But will have love in terms of gasoline being formed to buy electric cars I only go through in a mile.. and then waiting three hours to charge your battery in some places. Sorry to be so negative. But Pangie reality is a lot worse than Santa Claus

Thank you, dear Pangie. I have been trying to pull this one together for some time and it finally gelled yesterday. Had to get my two cents in re the biden/kerry EV nonsense! More snow today! Brrrrrrr - Bob H

Oh dear, don't let the kids see this Bob. Great story, I hope it's a fictional write. Ho ho ho. Have a great Christmas and a happy and healthy New year. Tom

Thanks, Tom. Let's hope it is fictional but with that bozo at the helm in Wash DC, I wouldn't put it past him to enforce such an inane decree! A wonderful Christmas season and healthy New Year to you and your family as well - Bob H
