One Christmas (Humorous Seasonal Poem)

One Christmas I forgot

to put the fire out,

then down the chimney pot

came Santa, short and stout.

The fire was so hot

that Santa gave a shout

poor Santa burnt his bot,

of that there is no doubt

then leapt up like a shot

out of the chimney spout;

so that year all I got

was an old brussel sprout.
