san Nicola and santa Claus, composition in rhyming couplets by Daniela Domenici
6 dicembre, san Nicola, composizione in rima baciata di Daniela Domenici
from san Nicola to Santa Claus
from Bari to Rovaniemi, his house
from Apulia to Lapland
from Italy’s heel to Finland…
…to fill the gender gap question
I have an unexpected suggestion:
make Santa Claus become a smiling woman
travelling in a comfortable way
and enjoys ringing the bells in her sleigh
and make Befana become an ugly man
experiencing the discomfort of a broom
which is far from being a warm room…
