The Christmas that Santa's Barometer Read the Wrong Temperature

Not only was Santa's barometer getting old,

It read hot when it should have read cold....

Eventually, the truth began to unfold...

It's because in the sale, it was being sold !

So instead of reading minus a hundred degrees....

The barometer said Santa should be baring his knees !

Instead of wearing a thick, woolly jumper, all frumpy,

Santa wore a bathing costume .... no wonder he was grumpy !

He shivered and stomped his feet up and down....

Everyone else was wearing bobble hats all over town !

Instead of a pair of gloves which Mrs Christmas had knitted,

Rather he had flip flops which hardly fitted !

What about a coat ? If the barometer had been better...

It would perhaps have told him, the weather was getting wetter !

He should have been wearing Wellington boots...

Instead he was shivering in flimsy, cotton suits !

Noticing Santa looked a freak,

The robin tapped the barometer with his sharp beak...

Suddenly it read "WINTER" instead...

Instead of blue, the pointer showed red !

So that was the answer to the barometer issue...

When everyone knew when they'd need a tissue !

That year, the weather was really mixed up...

Till Santa's barometer got fixed up !
