Is Santa Powerless?

No man is an isthmus [Roland]

Not even Father Christmas [fester]

(the reindeer and the sledge [Roland]

are also not a hedge) [fester]

His small, bedraggled beard [Roland]

Is neither hill nor fjord [fester]

And few would claim his sack [loaf]

To be a railway track [fester]

Yet many folk would swear [Roland]

If you stole their underwear [fester]

No man is an isthmus [Roland]

Not even Father Christmas [P]

Who once bemoaned a walrus [Apsley]

For not being a song thrush [fester]

And also a dalmatian [Apsley]

When even an alsatian [fester]

Couldn't bark in tune [B]

Beneath a nickel moon [loaf]

How many wights could claim [Apsley]

That famine swallows fame? [Roland]
