CORNERING THE
CHRISTMAS TOY MARKET

By Josie Whitehead

Cornering the Christmas Toy Market

Old Santa studied marketing

     Long before today.

The children are his customers.

     It’s important what they say!  

 

He knows each child upon his list -

     Yes, everyone by name.

He knows well the books they like

    And names of every game.

 

He knows the children who are good

     And the naughty ones as well.

He needs to know them all, you see,

    And remember where they dwell.

 

His business skills are very good.

    His targets all are met

And children of the world agree

     That he’s the best, you bet!

 

When January’s retail figures come

     To bring gloom and despair,

Why, *Santa’s laughing up his sleeve

     Without one single care!

*  January's retail figures tells a firm how well they've done (or not) over the Christmas period.  No, they don't all bring gloom and despair - of course not - but Santa's laughing because so many presents have arrived for all you children by Santa, of course.  Who else?

To laugh up one's sleeve = To be secretly amused at something.  Santa is laughing because he doesn't have money-problems after Christmas - - - or so I think.  What do you think?  Josie
