The Christmas that Santa's Boiler Burst

The Christmas that Santa's boiler burst wasn't one of the best...it was one of the worst...

Mrs Christmas was getting in the shower,

Enjoying a glass of wine - elderflower.....

Outside the ice and snow was thick on the ground,

Before Christmas, everyone was dashing around...

Inside the bathroom was steamy, the temperature rising,

That the boiler burst was hardly surprising !!!

All of a sudden, the tap went dry,

Not one drop appeared (though Santa did try)....

In the bath, the rubber duck didn't float,

Nor did Rudolph's plastic toy boat....

A solitary spider crawled up the plug,

"What on Earth has happened ?" Mrs Christmas began to shrug....

Gerome the gnome went to get a spanner,

(Which he'd picked up from the market for less than a tanner!)....

A hammer and a nail soon sorted the problem out,

A spurt of hot water suddenly began to gush out from the spout !

Although the elf banged with all his might,

He couldn't get the tap back tight....

Before long, the bathroom floor was covered in three inches of water, heading towards he door !

A trickle dripped down the stairs,

On a stream of steam, the duck floated beneath the chairs !

Soon all the gnomes were splashing about.....

In the hottest Christmas the grotto had ever seen in and out !

Rudolph put on a wet suit and flippers,

Santa fast becoming one of Greenland's greatest ever skippers !

This year the presents were delivered by boat, on a sleigh with blown up tyres to keep everyone afloat !!!

Bursting to do more ? Activity.....
