The home-made cookies
He’d consumed
So eagerly before
Now lay in chunky disarray
Beside him on the floor.
His tongue was clenched
Between his teeth,
His beard was streaked
With red;
Yes, it was very obvious
That Santa Claus was dead.
The note upon
The table read:
To Santa and his elves,
We hope you like
The cookies
Me and Timmy
Made ourselves.
