Another Letter to Santa

..from that same kid several years and a couple of divorces later...

Dearest Santa,
Here's my list of things for which I am keen,
I've kept it lean,
In case you're kinda short on the green.
Dearest Santa,
I'll pin it near my stocking tonight.

Santa, buddy,
I sure would like a new Smart TV,
Flat screen, HD,
A 60 incher, maybe 3D,
Santa, buddy,
Just stuff it in my stocking tonight.

Santa, pally,
I'd also like a…well…you know what,
And really hot!
Brunette or blonde, whatever you've got,
Santa, pally,
Just put her in mesh stockings tonight.

Excuse me, Santa,
I don't mean to seem crass or crude,
That would be rude,
But I'm submitting this request dude to dude,
So be a buddy,
When you're filling up my stocking tonight.

P.S. Santa,
I have a small confession, I fear,
I haven't been a good boy all year,
And in case you just can't see your way clear,
Dearest Santa,
I'll still dream about mesh stockings tonight.

Thank you and Merry Christmas,
Your friend,
John Dorflemeyer

Dorflemeyer! You finally showed up. It's Fofoofnik here. You know, Abercombie Fofoofnik, from the old gang on 42nd Avenue. Still lighting matches up squirrels' rear ends, Dorfle? Oh, you were something back in the day... What, What? O gee, I'm sorry. You're not Henry Dorflemeyer, you say? Awfully sorry, there, buddy. 'Course, I'm not Abercrombie Fofoofnik either. ~ Merry Christmas and Happy April Fools' Day, gw

You know some weird people, G! Thanks. I love the name Abercrombie Fofoofnik, though.
