Poem
I’ve not written to you for many years Santa, I’m quite different from my peers Not fancy or frilly like girly girls And I don’t hanker for diamonds and pearls Today I got the most terrible news My muse abandoned me. She's on a cruise!!! She’ll be sailing around the world for years I'm bereft and can’t stem my salty tears Oh Santa dear, please take pity on me I need a skilled muse to write poetry I’m heartbroken without her by my side Could you bring one to me on this Yuletide It would be the most perfect Christmas gift Please tell me that this year I won't get stiffed! ~ ~ ~ ~ You may not have my name at this address But Santa, it’s time for me to confess I've been on your naughty list all this year I'm the one who put Ex Lax in your beer And I thought while you were stuck in my loo I'd try to tempt you in my basque of blue But you clutched your tummy. You looked quite sick With loo roll in hand, you ran out so quick You chastised me as you dribbled brown gloop Said you’d seen my name at Poetry Soup! You'd read my poems and you wouldn't be hard With my dire style, I’m no threat to the Bard Last Christmas was such a catastrophe I apologise, will you forgive me? ~ ~ ~ ~ I’ve divulged to all how I’ve misbehaved and beg the laxative mishap be waived (You’ve not visited since I was a child when my behaviour ran totally wild!) I’ve taken my punishment on the chin Bitter medicine swallowed for my sin If you can find forgiveness in your heart I will try my best to make a fresh start Santa, please deliver just one present... A new muse would make my life more pleasant My old one left and she might not return My pen is poised; for witty words I yearn A contest win with Phillip Garcia Would rekindle my poetic career!
