Mr. Speaker,
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
Then came Scrooge's call through the PM's headset
“You owe me repayment on the national debt.”
“But, Scrooge, Christmas is for Santa and cute elves
Candy canes and budgets that balance themselves.”
“No”, snapped Scrooge, “Santa is in debtors' jail 'til you pay.
I'll leave him there and ruin Christmas Day.”
“I need cash in a flash”, cried out JT
Perhaps speaking fees from friends at WE.
The central bank will make our dollars double
Reducing by half my money troubles.
Doubling the number of each coin will make us more
Turning loonies to toonies and toonies to fours.
Each party will chip in some coins for free
If it's loonies we need, they're in the NDP.
We'll host Liberal fundraisers, social distanced no doubt
That's easy enough; Liberals are always spaced out.
Meanwhile at the North Pole was a plan under way
To set Santa free and save Christmas Day.
Out of a helicopter an air force vet ran
A dashing and handsome, slightly balding man.
“Goodness”, asked St. Nick, “who's this man on a mission?
My gosh, it's the leader of the opposition.”
The leader cut the bars and set Santa away
Who wasted no time and ran straight for his sleigh.
But as he jumped on, a reindeer did buck
Santa stubbed his big toe and yelled, “Oh, shucks.”
Then off and away his chariot soared
Our children's dreams renewed and restored.
Proving again, Christmas dreams can come true
As Santa and all change their colours to blue.
