The Year Santa Went InsaneA Poem by Tina KlineDark humor.
The year Santa went insane Christmas was never really the same Was his suit red with his own blood? Did he still have his tormented wife’s love?
What about all those little green elves? All their toys Santa placed back on the shelves The reindeer were put out to greener pastures Now spiders hang from the castle’s rafters
Santa stopped eating pies and jellies Quickly down shrank his big fat belly He locked his door, no more singing for him Would the world ever see Christmas again?
The ivory snowflakes continued to fall For toys the children continued to call Decorations fell from the Christmas trees Nothing left of Christmas was there to see
I heard Santa laugh and scream I was certain it was only a bad dream But when I saw the wildness in his eyes I knew for his madness there was no disguise
Santa went raving about the room The elves and reindeer fled in doom This year Santa canceled the Christmas season He went insane, that is the reason
I told Santa, “Do not seek therapy. The professionals will blame you, you’ll see. Stay safe being crazy at the North Pole. Send someone else out at Christmas. No one will know.”
