‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, Not a creature was stirring—not even a mouse. But down in the living room, lit by the tree, An elf was caught scheming—oh, what could it be? Santa arrived, not the man folks had guessed, But a woman in red, in a skimpy-style dress. She caught the rogue elf with gifts in her grip, And gave her a spanking to tighten the ship. The noise woke the man, who peeked from his room, To find Santa mid-scold in the holiday gloom. “This elf is a menace, and I need your hand, To keep her in check—do you understand?” The man gave a grin, then joined in the fun, While Santa flew off to get the job done. So if you hear spanking this holiday night, Know Santa’s just handling her elf with delight.
