Twas the Night Before Congress

Hope for Hard Times Through the Magic of Christmas
- By Paul Schlegel

Twas the night before Congress, with Santa awake
Planning a scheme for his bailout take
The Elves were all panicked from weeks without pay
And Rudolph had flown off to sell off the sleigh

The reindeer were frightened to not have a sled
And mistakenly thought that old Rudolph had fled
Mrs Clause she was miffed with few presents to wrap
And worried of China and the growing trade gap.

Santa came in and asked “Dear, what’s the matter”?
“Well, we’re so short on food and you’re not getting fatter.”
Oh Santa he laughed as he threw up the sash.
“Just pull out your Visa and advance us some cash.”

Mrs. Claus shook her head and said, “Oh my, don’t you know?
Our cards were revoked and our cashflow is slow.
Basically Santa, we’re well in arrears,
You might want to think of some different careers.”

Well just then ol’ Santa – he had to think quick,
“Congress wants plans – and I just have my schtick.
But if I show them MY plan they’ll make me explain:
‘You give AWAY presents? No profits? Insane!’”

“Hey Dasher, Hey Dancer, Hey Prancer and Vixen!
Hey Comet, Hey Cupid, Hey Donder and Blitzen!
Come here with the elves and give Rudolph a call.
I might have a plan, but I need you ALL!

We don’t need the Congress to make Christmas fly,
It’s all about Christmas demand and supply.
Elves, how many toys were you able to do?
35 Million Three Thousand and two?”

“Well, technically that number is just not enough.
But what if we do all that magical stuff?”
Of course Santa’s magic is world-renowned.
And the elves and the reindeer could help it compound!
