Santasy!

The line in blue is the start of a humorous Xmas poem quoted on the blog above.


SANTASY!

When I was a child I believed in Santa Claus!
It was very easy to believe in him because
I saw him on the Xmas cards, I saw him in the shops,
I saw him by the Xmas trees with angels on the tops.
I believed in him because my parents said that he existed
And the thought of that divine old chap just could not be resisted.
But oh! The let-down in the end when I learned the awful truth!
That he'd only been a fable told to glorify my youth!
I became a hardened cynic at the age of nine or ten.
From then on I always doubted any Mystical Old Men.
I became a Disbeliever, and my instinct is to doubt.
I don't believe a single thing until I've checked it out!
