Notes About The Poem

I hate to tell you but I told you so

Oh Santa ~
I've been telling you all year
to ease up of the
pies, cheesecake and cookies

But no ~
you had to have your way
and eat through mountains
of sweets and decadent desserts

You couldn't get enough ~
brownies, donuts, croissants
ice cream, gelato, sorbet
puddings, flans and custards

Now look at you ~
think about that
while you wait patiently
for the rescue team

You never listen !

Too funny! I wonder if he is friends with Winnie the Pooh? Remember Winnie got stuck and had to wait until he lost some weight. Cheers, sweet Line!
