A Christmas Poem, 2008
Oh, Santa, dear Santa!
Anagram for Satan,
Silly Simpson dog.
Crumbly old bag of bones,
Viking Saint and Haitian port--
You roly poly chimney sweep,
You elfin bearded scamp.
Warm milk and cookies,
Bags of toys and coal,
Spread yourself thin this Christmas, sir--
The world needs some cheer:
Real or make believe.
Nostalgic thoughts of
Jolly fatman lapsitting
Prankster, gift-giver,
Fire-warmed and Love-toasted
Anticipation.
The best is yet to come.
