Santa's beard

Santa's Beard
By Marja Blom

One morning after a deep sleep

Santa Claus heard peep, peep, peep

Oh my, he said now that is weird

I think I've got a nest in my beard

Mrs Claus please take the bird away

He said to her with great dismay

Mrs Claus tried and she was curious

Why the bird became so furious

Then next to the bird in the beard

8 wiggly, wobbly eyes appeared

4 lovely tiny chicks came out

and started squealing very loud

Oh Santa dear I know what's best

These chicks will have to keep their nest

but you can't go out like that you know

That beard of yours will have to go

Hence Santa went to cut of his beard

But Santa without a beard looks weird

He bought a fake one and what's more

Santa did look better than before

Now kids if you give Santa's beard a pull

and discover that it's made of wool

You know now why, believe my words

It's because he had to save the birds
