The Christmas that Santa Got A New Treadmill

Santa was really very unfit...

It was all those mince pies - his kit didn't fit...

His buttons came off when he went to sit...

As he bent down, his trousers split !

Mrs Christmas had an brilliant idea....

To get Santa looking like he did yesteryear...

A new treadmill...to get his weight better...

She wrote the instructions down in a letter !

The letter said a parcel will be delivered

at three as a surprise....

So for New Year Santa could start his regime of exercise....

At ten to three, Santa looked at the clock...

He heard a knock and got a shock !!!

There with a huge ribbon on it...

Was an exercise machine like an Easter bonnet !

It took twelve gnomes to carry it in...

He parked it in the lounge and there did begin...

Slow, then fast....Santa had a blast...

He hoped his new found energy would last...

Though he worried about the neighbours going past !

Although Santa huffed and puffed...

His weight was marvellous - he really was chuffed !

The pounds dropped off, one by one,

Inch after inch, as he did run...

He switched the speed up a little quicker...

The belt went slicker, the light began to flicker...

The Christmas fairy came fluttering along...

And saw that Santa was spluttering and unstrong...

Being naughty, the scamp did something wrong to her Master...

She waved her wand and made it

faster !

As she turned the dial up...

Santa sped up...

Soon he was the winner of the championship cup !

He had trouble keeping up !

Santa fell down onto his face...

Then zoomed off into outer space !

No wonder they called it the human race...

As he disappeared without a trace !

Soon there were stars spinning all over the place !
