Are you a good judge of character?
Flying to Helsinki
on a Finnish flight
Not sure bout the bearded chap.
Just across the aisle.
Says he’s bound for Lapland
Then to the North Pole
But something odd about him
And it doesn’t quite add up.
It’s awful hard to read him
He’s wearing funny clothes.
Something odd about the beard
His face all covered up.
He likes to visit children
Creep about at night
Seems a little odd to me
Something’s not quite right.
He didn’t like the menu
Reindeer in a roll
Nordic speciality
But he turned up his nose.
I know you’ll think it rude of me
I really shouldn’t stare
But I’m not sure about that man
Who’s sitting over there.
