Visiting Santa

You have to wait in line
To see Santa, but that’s fine
It’s worth every minute of queuing
And the anticipation of viewing
Santa Claus with his big belly
Wobbling like a bowl full of jelly
And his fruity chuckle you hear
In the Christmas grotto each year
Then you get to climb onto his lap
And have your special Christmas chat
Then all too soon its time to go
And Santa gives you a HO HO HO

Father Christmas's Grotto

I just adore the lines 'Santa Claus with his big belly, Wobbling like a bowl full of jelly' Funny and simultaneously just slightly cruel.
