T'was the Night Before Christmas...a Crime Story

Twas the night before Christmas and these are the facts
Not a creature was stirring, except Santa with his ax
The Wilson's were butchered with precision and care
Found under the tree when Sgt. Nicholas got there
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
When in came Santa and buried his ax in their heads
The misses in her kerchief, the man in his cap
Lay on the floor, their heads in their lap
Santa tripped on a lamp, it made quite a clatter
The neighbors arose to see what's the matter
One went to the phone, called the police in a flash
The dispatch was made and they came in a dash
Quick to his feet Santa looked outside
He heard all the sirens and his eyes they went wide
Clutching his ax he went downstairs to the floor
Ran through the house and to the front door
When what to Santa's eyes should appear
But eight white squad cars all in high gear
They came to a stop in front of the house
Santa inside, trapped like a mouse
Santa crouched by a window and pulled out a gun
"You're surrounded" they said "There is nowhere to run"
Santa shot twice, then the air filled with lead
The night became silent,
Santa was dead.
Santa
