Notes About The Poem

image from pinterest.com

LETTER TO SANTA

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“The cookies? Not mine.  
The milk? A setup.  
The glitter footprints  
leading straight to my bed?  
Circumstantial.” 

“I swear on the tinsel~  
this whole naughty thing  
is a frame job.” 

“Check your naughty list again,
Santa—someone’s pulling your beard.”  

Yours (wrongfully accused),  
A Very Framed Elf
