All Across This Country

All across this country
All across this land
All across the world
His route is carefully planned

To keep ahead of the sun
To miss the no fly zones
Avoid the passenger planes
And steer clear of traffic cones

He must carefully time his mission
To a schedule carefully trialled
To ensure its full success
And not disappoint a single child

Carefully Planned

Delivering presents in Victorial times used just to be a logistical nightmare, but now Santa has to cope with flight paths and an no fly zones as well.
