A Christmas Disaster

Miggy, Twiggy, and Figgy the elves
Loaded Santa's sleigh all by themselves
Miggy the toys and Twiggy the dolls
Figgy put snacks in and maps for old Clause
But this year they started to load up too late
Miggy at seven and Twiggy past eight
Figgy was missing until the last minute
White Christmas was on it's been years since he's seen it
Santa got on the radio
And told everyone it was time to go
Miggy and Twiggy and Figgy they gasped
And threw all the bags in a little too fast
Santa was off on that Christmas Eve night
Peeked in his bags and was shocked at the sight
Miggy and Twiggy and Figgy in haste
Had grabbed Santa's trash bags containing his waste
Now there was no time, no time to turn back
Santa had nothing except for his trash
He thought just a second and made up his mind
The kids they'll be thankful, they won't really mind
So at his first stop he pulled out a shoe
Chewed up by his puppy named Jinglejangoo
Then at his next stop a half eaten pear
Jack from Jackson got Santa's trimmed hair
A napkin for Nellie all stained with ketchup
A broken light bulb and a Styrofoam cup
Timmy got tuna cans and Santa's old receipts
Jimmy got an empty canister for athlete's feet
Empty Dr. Pepper cans was what he gave young Michael
One would think old Santa Clause was green and would recycle
Candied wrappers, newspapers, toenails clipped just last night
Molded garlic bread and even half a loaf of white
Used band aids, old magazines, Santa gave it all
No toys this year or ipods, computers or basketballs
Santa made it through the night and gave the last child lint
But Miggy, Twiggy, and Figgy the elves have not been heard from since
