Dear Santa you are not built for single Sculling You’re a little too round where you need To be thin And your girth seems to be so fully Extended that all that can be seen is Red cloth and ermine where The sax boards are supposed to begin

Now my advice to you would be to quit While you are winning and stick To the seat of your sleigh Because if all of those elves and reindeer Were to simultaneously let go you will“Invert and desert” that single scull With out a doubt almost straight away

And we know it’s a Christmas present For a promising youngster And you just thought to give it a try But you have a long way to go this Coming Christmas Eve so it’s better that, You do so in good nick dear old Saint Nick. And in fact while you are still dry!
