The Christmas that Santa Got A Puncture at Silverstone

The Christmas that Santa got a puncture was a bit flat indeed. The sleigh went only 5 miles per hour....without very much speed....

Santa was driving his sleigh in the dark,

When all of a sudden there was a flash and a spark....

He'd driven over a fairy light,

Not looking where he was going in the cold, cold night.....

He'd polished his sleigh for the Christmas holiday,

And hoped to make a quick getaway.....

Christmas was going really quite well,

The tinsel sparkled and the mince pies were swell....

The Christmas dinner table was all set -

It was going to be the best turkey yet !!!

The Christmas cards were bright and gay,

Everything was set for the Christmas holiday.....

The invitations were all sent,

A million pounds on presents was all spent....

So what a disappointment, what a frazzle,

On the way to Silverstone,

Santa drove over a bulb that could no longer dazzle....

The broken glass and piece of wire,

Stuck right into the sleigh's right tyre....

The situation soon got dire,

Santas sleigh didnt get any higher !

Like a burst balloon, it let out a tune,

Phew !!! It went and started to dent....

Christmas wasnt going as well as it should,

With the sleigh stuck in 3 inches of mud !

Santa tried as hard as he could,

To pump up the tyre and get the sleigh good !

Night was fast drawing in....

A shard of glass stuck in like a pin...

Santa's head was in a spin,

The tyre was flat and getting thin....

Quickly Mrs Christmas brought some tape,

To try to stop the air escape....

Soon the sleigh rolled away,

As Santa made a hasty getaway !!!

Around the track - three circuits and back...

Before he emptied the presents in his sack !

Full of hot air......

How many words can you think of with the letters p-u-n ?

Example....punch
