the dead santa

seems he went

down the wrong chimney

one time too

many

messing with another

man's wife,

the detective says, standing

over the body

of santa claus.

the snap on beard loose

around his

chin.

blunt object to the head?

one cop says to the other.

yup, candlestick,

look at the blood

and white hair from his wig.

suspects? mrs. claus?

maybe, it could have

been anyone though who didn't

get the right gift,

we have a list, a scroll

of suspects found in his

woolen red suit. chalk

him up and get him out

of here before any kids

see him and 

scrape some of that

apple pie off his suit.

take it down to the lab.

that lipstick on his cheek

too. we need to get to

the bottom of this.

and pull his pants up.
