Santa's beard

Santa’s Beard

One morning, after a deep, deep sleep,
Santa Claus heard a peep, peep, peep.
“Oh my,” he said, “that’s quite absurd
I think I’ve got a nest inside my beard!”

“Mrs. Claus, please take that bird away,”
He said with a frown and great dismay.
Mrs. Claus tried, but then got curious,
Why was the bird so quite furious?

Then next to the bird within his beard,
Eight wiggly, wobbly eyes appeared.
Four tiny chicks popped out with cheer,
And started squealing loud and clear!

“Oh Santa dear, I know what’s best
These chicks must keep their cozy nest.
But you can’t go out like that, you know,
That beard of yours will have to go!”

So Santa went and shaved his beard,
But Santa without one looked quite weird!
He bought a fake one, soft and curled,
And looked better than in the old world!

Now kids, if you give Santa’s beard a pull,
And find that it’s made of wool,
You’ll know the secret...believe my word
It’s because he had to save the birds!
