Santa’s Sleigh Ride at 1000 km/s
Blasting through the sky
Like a nuclear device, Through the towns I fly Blinking once or twice. Rudolph’s nose is hot With meteoric light— What fun to visit every tot Within a single night. Jingle bells, jingle bells, No one else can hear. My jolly sounds are swallowed in The shock wave to my rear. December 1999
From the Daily Whale.
Parody of
“Jingle Bells”
which repeats the old joke about Santa’s speed.
