Forever Clause

Just a poetry rant about those who want to change the image of Santa Clause and all the political correctness surrounding the holiday... Give me traditional.

 

Jolly Old St. Nick

Is a state of mind

To all the innocent minds

And those still young at heart.

Ho Ho Ho is the anthem of Joy

To every boy and girl

And that bowl full of jelly

Is very symbolic of

The big hearts that give

To those in need.

So what is this talk

Of an image change

And making Mr. Clause

More physically fit.

The only thing that should be trim

This holiday season is the tree.

So let tradition,

That was good enough

For generations

To stand,

So let me say Happy Holidays…

I mean Merry Christmas

Cause I don’t go for

That political correctness.

I totally agree with you and I am going to say it straight up Merry Christmas. Santa isn't suppose to be skinny. That would be so gross. What the heck is wrong with people these days. McDonald and Santa don't make us fat we do. If we make bad decisons on what we eat it is our fault. If we don't feed our children right and make them get outside to play that is our fault not companies who make the food or Santa. Santa has lived for a very long time with his weight issue. Leave tradition alone. I don't want a physically fit Santa. All the songs would have to be changed. Shame on people. Shame Shame on them for blaming a beloved holiday character for their weight issues. That is just so wrong in so many ways.
