The clock struck eight and Santa Ctaus Said, 'Wow's the time to go, So all aboard my Pixie lads And Tweente, don't be slow." He pressed the starter very hard, There came a mighty roar, "We're off," said all the Pixie Boys, t And sat down on the floor. But Santa, tn his great dismay, Found out with many a sighJust why Ms lovely aeroplane Would rise not to the sky. There was no petrol in the tanks, It's rationed nom, vou see, So back went Santa to his sleigh, As happy as could be. —Original, by Avonne Rogers (13), D.M.B.G.
