Santa's last stand
against the rising sea
the flooded workshops
foundering into liquified permafrost
and all the world leaders
who did nothing while the world stewed
they'll find 3-day-old fish
in their stinking Xmas stockings
cos the coal is gone

Santa floats down the few chimneys that remain. Elsewhere he jimmie's windows, oozes under doors. He carries a 3D printer on his back, festively red and green. The elves shiver in their picket lines.

elves slink back to their dens
the darkened workshop
home to ice roaches
when the ice cap breaks
they'll be out of luck
for 100,000 years

Santa in the time of warming
Santa checked his list a second time.
Cargo on board, ship sealed, launch tube filled with water, pressure
equalized. He was off.
As it cleared the sea surface, Santa's
sleigh sprouted wings. Powerful engines coughed to life and plasma
kissed the frigid Arctic water.
"Look ma! It's a flying fish!"
"It's a plane!" "It's Santa Claus! " "Hush,
children. Chew your blubber."
Acceleration pegged, he's fast. Damn
fast. Actually, they call him the streak. You gotta admire his
physique.
Santa fired up the Chronotron when he
hit cruising altitude. Psychedelic colors out the wazoo. His sleigh
fugued. S l e i g h s. T o y s t o o.
2048 Santas disbursed toys with manic
speed. But for every stocking filled, 1.17 babies gave out their
first cries.
10,000 elves worked for Polar
Enterprises. World population growth had forced Santa into an "arms"
race he could not win. Corners were cut.
"DaAaaAaD! Santa left me a game
console carved from a bar of soap!" "Wadja expect for
free?"
Presents rattled down the chimney. "Ho
ho ho" blue-shifted into the supersonic shattered windows and
the fish tank. "Sorry," drifted down.
Genevieve tore open the white package,
ensanguined in the red-litten den."You shouldn't have!"
Whips and cuffs: just what she'd asked for.
Unidentified blip, fighters scrambled,
just after pilots smoked surprise holiday presents.
The jet fighters, their hash-powered
pilots drifting in and out of consciousness, lost the rocket in a
mysterious polar fog.
Plunging into the Arctic Ocean as dawn
broke, Santa had one last gift in the back. Mrs. Claus did look good
in Victoria's Secret. Ho ho ho!

Eight tiny reindeer. Barely enough to go around when all the children visit. Santa makes a note to schedule interviews for a new team.

All I want for Xmas is my old climate back
76F here for Xmas day
better roof-runner traction
on warm tar than snow
too bad Arctic ice melting
dropped Santa's workshop
in the drink last summer

which reindeer are girls?
with reindeer extinct,
and the Arctic defrosted,
Santa turned to the noble
Norway rat to pull his sleigh
he saved money on fodder
laid off the elves
put the rats to work in the workshop
during the 364 day off-season
Blitzen woke up screaming
just a nightmare
Donner assured him

6,000,000,000--pick up the pace
They Call Him The Streak
There was an old elf at the Pole
whose job was excessively droll
he snoozed all the year
while his slaves made us gear
which he brought in one night at a stroll
