Being an international kind of chap,
Santa loved to watch the World cup before taking a nap....
Often when he was on his round the globe trip...
Into every stadium in the world he did skip...
One time he stopped off in darkest Peru,
To drop off there, the odd present or two !
He parked his sleigh at the back of the stand,
To see the best footie in all Christmasland !
To spot Santa Claus, the crowd was delighted....
What better than a game of Grotto United !?
They shouted and cheered "Santa ! catch the ball..."
It bounced off the goalposts and over the wall !
Santa dived and skid across the touch line...
Luckily the umpire then whistled half time !
Santa's favourite player was the snowman, of course ...
Who he hoped would score before the HOORAYS ! got worse
Even the robin redbreast wore a smart football top.....
It seemed that the game would never stop !
With Santa on the team, Christmasland won eleven - ten.....
Everyone wondered if Santa would do a lap of honour again !
To celebrate, what do you think they put in the cup ?
Yes, you guessed right, a drop of sherry to sup !
There even was a tasty, crumbly mince pie,
That they bought from Tesco for Santa to try !
