Mystic Rose Rose Poet Rhyme

Dear Santa

I know that you are busy wrapping up each gift 
and prepping up the reindeer for a North Pole lift
but as your gear, please don't forget my house 
I'll be waiting by the chimney quiet as a mouse 

Life has not been easy  since I lost my career 
the fridge is empty and  the rent is in arrear 
I'm down to my last penny Gina left me too 
my nose is pepperoni and I even got the flu 

I know that you can't make me rich or poor
but gummies make me smile so I implore   
bring me anything that fits into my sink
I finally gone caput, or so I told my shrink  

I know that you are busy but here goes my gist 
I got all of it on paper, then plump forgot my list 
I'll be waiting by the chimney ,Santa dear 
with some milk and beer for Christmas cheer .
