HO HO ...GROAN... HO.

What the !!!! No!!!! :o

HO HO...GROAN.......HO


Although he was claimed
to be god-like in presence
supposedly blessing
with joyous indulgence,
he never made anything
never gave hope.
He pretended to be
sort of Tinsel-town Pope.
His baubles and trinkets
and stupid false laugh
just mocked human tragedy
strewn in his path.

So we put him to death;
it was easy to do,
for he never was real;
we just did what we knew.
Then we carted him off
and we buried him deep.
There was nothing to mourn
so, no need to weep.

But many still worshipped
this ludicrous lie;
a magical man
and his reindeer that fly.
Why ? Haven't they heard
and haven't they read.
They can scrap all that nonsense,
'cause Santa is..DEAD.

Oh Dear I am going to the kindy in a couple of weeks in a red suit four times too big for me. I hope they don't bury me there.

Bill, The aborigines at Bourke had a nickname for the local dentist .. " The Tooth Fairy "

Thanks Heather. :)

You'll be safe Dave, we hope. At Bourke in 1994 Santa got assaulted by some children. It made international news. I got a phone call from Stan Zemanek wanting to discuss it, I told him to buzz off ( in polite terms ;) )


In that great epic poem known as The Book of Revelation, the writer, John, depicts a horrible figurative Beast with great power and strength. This monster dominates the world and forces everyone to worship it, so no one can do anything unless they are subject to The Beast. John tells us that the numerology of the Beast is 666.

Over the centuries people have tried to identify who the beast might be, nominating various powerful people, but no one has fit the bill, because the beast is not a person, it is a thing, that's why it is called a beast.
It's name is easy to identify...The Economy (aka The Powers That Be).

Why did Stan Zemanek choose you to ring, Neville?

The "assault" on Santa was a matter for the police to investigate. I was the officer in charge of the police station at the time. It is usual for media sensationalists to head for the boss of the cop shop.

Stan the man rang Nev – the plan to see was Santa in the can
at Bourke – Christmas time ninety four – the kids assaulted Santa for
taking too long to hear their pleas for bikes and skateboards – they’d no need
for socks or god forbid new undies – that’s why Stan rang and not Reg Grundy.
The tooth fairy was not his mate for he would not participate
in fol-de-rol and Christmas cheer he merely planned a nice cold beer
and perhaps turkey that was stuffed or fresh king prawns and right enough
he had heard it was Christmas time but bah, humbug was Toothies rhyme.



Wanna join the anti-Christmas league Neville? :lol: :lol: I reckon we could fit you in. ;)

Cheers
