\nTommy Made A Snowball<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tommy made a snowball…
\nNo one saw when he threw it.
\nYep, Thomas was the guilty one
\nAnd everybody knew it.<\/p>\n

Tommy isn\u2019t a bad, bad boy but
\nIf there\u2019s a problem, go find him.
\nHe always winds up in a fix…
\nYou don\u2019t ever have to remind him.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, on Christmas Eve,
\nTommy decided to play a trick.
\nHe waited on his cold roof top…
\nHe knew he\u2019d have to be quick.<\/p>\n

When he heard tinkling sleigh-bells
\nAnd that familiar, jolly \u201cHo-Ho-Ho!\u201d,
\nHe let loose his strong pitching arm
\nAnd gave that snowball a throw.<\/p>\n

But time had turned his snow to ice
\nAnd when it smacked Blitzen\u2019s head,
\nHis bright eyes instantly dimmed,
\nAs Santa\u2019s lead deer fell dead.<\/p>\n

The police arrived inside an hour
\nBut the culprit had by then vanished.
\nWho could have done such a thing?
\nThat person ought to be banished!<\/p>\n

On suspicion alone, they took Tommy in…
\nWithout thought to his fragile self-esteem.
\n\u201cHow could you have done such a horrid act?!\u201d
\n\u201cNot me!!\u201d was the answer he screamed.<\/p>\n

The court released dear little Tommy…
\nIt couldn\u2019t convict on a mere belief.
\nSo Thomas walked away to freedom,
\nWhile Santa sank into his grief.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Claus worried at her hubby\u2019s return.
\nHe was no longer his old jovial self.
\nSanta didn\u2019t treat the reindeer nicely
\nAnd he spoke gruffly to all of his elves.<\/p>\n

Mama Claus thought to herself,
\n\u201cI\u2019ve got to cure my Santa\u2019s blues.\u201d
\nShe planned all night and hatched a plot.
\nShe knew just what she should do.<\/p>\n

She enlisted the help of the elf brigade
\nTo assist in her righteous chore.
\nThe sleigh left at twilight\u2019s dim…
\nThe reindeer pulled like never before.<\/p>\n

Landing ever so lightly on the roof of Tom,
\nThe avengers made their way to his room.
\nWithout a knock, they snatched the lad…
\nDrastic measures to ease Santa\u2019s gloom.<\/p>\n

Back to the pole, in the dead of night,
\nTommy begged and pleaded and cried.
\nBut try as he might, he couldn\u2019t explain
\nWhy Blitzen had so needlessly died.<\/p>\n

The investigation didn\u2019t last very long
\nAnd the jury took less time than that.
\nBut when all had been said and done,
\nTom\u2019s excuses lay pancake flat.<\/p>\n

What happened next is anyone\u2019s guess.
\nTo date, it remains quite a mystery.
\nTommy disappeared without a trace…
\nLeaving a short but annoying history.<\/p>\n

They say Santa sees everything…
\nIt was a rumor and everyone knew it.
\nYes, Tommy made the snowball
\nBut guess who saw, when he threw it.<\/p>\n
