"Santa Got Too Big For His Britches"
Twas the night before Christmas, and I was lyin in bed No there weren't no visions of sugarplums or any fruit in my head When all of a sudden I heard a loud deafenin scream I thought it was dreamin , so I layed back to rejoin my dream
Well, it didn't go away just kept on a clatterin and clatterin So, reluctantly I got up to see to keep my eardrums from shatterin The sound was comin from the chimney even tho I had none So I went outside to take me a good look to see how come
Yepp, on top of my rooftop was half of Santa Clause and sack two legs just a danglin from an imaginary chimney stack I said look you need to lay off all them put out holiday snacks then maybe you fit in a tight place 'stead gettin outta whack
Well,I knew I couldn't call 911 so it was all up to me to find the right solution and set ol Santa free Billions of children waitin for him to make a drop and old Saint Nick clogged on my own rooftop.
After lots of deliberation and second thoughts I put my mind to ease I went into my garage and brought out some axel grease I know, I know but what else was I to do, he had to be set free Poured it all over ,and plop! out he came 1,2, 3
Before I got him out while he was still makin his pleas and begs I made him make a promise, before next year to visit Jenny Craig's

Hey Gary, this is pretty good, especially the Jenny Craig line. Nice way to end this Christmas tale. Lots of other neat images scattered throughout, too!
Just a point. You used the word TWO in your title, so I thought the poem was going to be a play on words, but I see it wasn't. So, the correct word there should be TOO.
Nice job.
