Christmas

Beyond the realm of man,
Past our longest memory,
Before the reign of mammals,
And the even before that.

A beard in red,
Toys in a sack.
Behold the terror,
Of gifts in the night.

Every home in one day?
To hell with your physics!
Past lightspeed he goes,
Devastation he spreads.

He starts at a spot.
We know as Chicxulub.

Red. Red! RED!
All is fire.
The shockwave flies,
Extinction arrives.

The ash settles down.
Quiet engulfs the land.
A lesson he's learned,
About his powerful reach.

"Ho, Ho, Ho." he exclaims!
"I've killed the dinosaurs!
Next time I'll be more careful,
and make my home in the North."

"For I am Santa Claus,
A being of great might,
But I guess I fucked up,
Whoopsie Daisy."
