Notes About The Poem

Le Buff Claus - What's Up With Santa

Old Santa Claus is in the know now
he's changing with the times;
now, he speaks out against the GMO's 
saying toying with foods a crime.

Santa hungers for organic kale
turns his nose up at cookies.
He's tired, he said, of being a whale
and loves the extra nookie!

See, Mrs. Claus now brags about him
points at his six-pack ab's
She's bought a Ninja Pro,and a gym
hates additives from labs.

There's No problem with the chimney's now
he could work for the Cirque du Soleil
Yes, Santa's on a fitness kick, wow,
the reindeer all shout yeah!

Under each tree Claus leaves sports gear
and ropes to mountain climb
new ice skates and snow ski's appear
with fruit baskets full of limes.

Buff Claus is dressed by Tom Ford now
in a fitted suit of red velvet
boots, and bow tie of black allowed
and a snowy silk shirt to sell it.

Hey, debs, just stopping by to say hi. I am gonna call on the book tomorrow . giving them one more day to reply to my email or maybe see if it is in my mailbox. it is expensive, isn't it? I don't know many people who will pay 20 dollars for it. I was gonna buy a bunch of them for gifts, but I can only afford a few at that price.

Debbie I like this vision of an alter ego santa and it would be good if it were true as more kids may follow his ideals...Tea on the way I shall have a toast to you on 25th with the same....David

Your modern Santa is a pretty good write, Debbie, very original; but I won't exchange my old Santa for anything...I grew up with him all these years and I just can't betray an old friend! Take care. // paul
