Merlin sees Red

As I was shopping at our local mall
for crafts and gifts to give this time of year,
I passed the fat man sitting on his rear
with kids plunked on his lap – what caterwaul!

You’d think one brat was there all by himself.
Okay, I’m short and dress distinctively
but can’t that kid act more respectfully?
I don’t believe he thought I was an elf!

Most elves I know don’t wear the latest styles
like this fine toga and its matching hat;
in fact, that Santa bunch is much too fat
and has no fashion sense. They’re juveniles.

I am the Wizard. There is Santa Claus.
Go yank his beard with your pernicious paws.

These are stand-alone pieces. However, not to be a board-hog, should we wait to give others a chance?

Deadline being considered, single topics are created. In the event that the count runneth over, I'll be happy to make room for others.
