Little Santa Helpers

Santa has outsourced his services to child labourers from Bangladesh they
                         fit zero-sized through chimneys much easier and the leaner they are the
better they share full of joy in the globalised feast of winter communion

Detached they are from ‘wrongful’ beliefs and so much happier for their distant
                            faithful relation to Christmas plus they are used to half naked toil with
loin cloths draped in native design and fig-leafed in the wider scheme of migrant
                                extortion minimum wage wasted on them but they might get some 
tips from little children on other sides of divides if those can catch them in glee

But then there are milk ‘Ho Ho Beer’ and biscuits by the fireplace laced with 
               incense and Prozac not licensed for young ones maybe but the booze as willing 
sign of cross-culturalization is surely inclusive and a Peace offering sponsored by
                ‘Alcohol Without Borders’ while the odd trace of Ritalin keeps ordered control

Santa is not really burnt out but neo-liberal delegation is the vogue of the month
                   and post traumatic stress drones and hoovers on his sick note nevertheless
as his bonuses and shares float on Panamanian waters and now he needs a lungi  
             as well instead of the red coat extra large without doubt as he burps in the sand

The Bangladeshis meanwhile chirp in silent frost bitten nights but at least there
               are soot and ashes no sunburn sometimes carrots with broom sticks thereafter
almost a year of ‘social’ benefits homely rest recuperation free time for Mohamed

They scrub brush and sand their dehydrated skins by the Ganges until they come
           to accept the ‘Terms of their Trade’ bow to diversity’s splendour and discern what
is dirt and what their skin colour and it’s the latter that keeps them employed
