Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Claptrap

In Santa's workshop while the elves

Made toys, Santa would tell bad jokes.

For punchlines, preparing themselves,

The elves would give each other pokes.

They knew each bad joke Santa told

Was a claptrap that Santa set.

With such theatrics he'd unfold

Each bad joke, the result to get,

The elves to fall into his trap,

Of after each bad joke was done,

All the elves would eagerly clap,

Which for Santa was so much fun.

The elves fell in claptrap because

Ol' Jolly loved their Santapplause.
