Dear Santa...

... at my tender age of 4TOne
it's dawned on me that you're the fun
never having thought to write before...
I can see now why my stockings bare...
I never sent a letter 'up there'.

So Santa if I may please... and if indeed
I please you too...
May I then send this letter on through?

I wrote my wishes just right
and I'll eat my peas at night
But Santa I must confess...
A good and proper girl
I've been the least... and
at times, I've been a beast.
But Santa I've never really known
To catch your eye was by way of pen
and then again, I guess I should have.



Pinolo's nose was a wooden craft...
old school but roughly draft and
cold in the corridor, he laughed...
So...
Having seen that Dear Santa I say
I started a fire in the hall that day
Invited him in and near the pit
The fire was hot I must admit
and
being I want to share what's true
I wrote my details in a note to you.
When you read it I'm sure you'll say...
that headed for my stocking
on that joy filled day,
is a lump of coal
for the way I've behaved.

From Santa: Naughty girl, so you've decided to give your pen a whirl, The name Santa, is over rated, you should have married one of those guys you dated, then you could have mated, and by true love abated, part of this life you've hated, your love would have reproduce, a son name Bruce, a daughter name Linda, see love's splinda! I am game, ask in Christ's name, Santa is not my name, Love is my game, Heavenly Father is my real name!
