Shove It

Dear Mr Santa, I’ve been really good
I’ve done all the chores, I was told that I should
I know that it’s June and I shouldn’t be surly
I must send a gift and I must send it early 

So if you could handle this order for me
Delivered discreetly like it’s meant to be
Just sneak in and leave it where I will suggest
And sneak out again, because that would be best

My gift is a gift for the whole of mankind
So sneak the gift in and then leave it ‘behind’
To do me this favour, you’ll need an address
You’ll know where it is as it’s been in the press

              ***

The address that I’ve given, you must be rememberin
you’ll find it in Moscow, they call it the Kremlin
But you’re Santa Claus so you won’t need a pass
So just leave the Semtex in Putin’s fat ass

Ha, ha, ha! It'll be X-mas in July for Mr. Putin. Better than 'Kitty in the Microwave.'

We keep hearing that this is a war crime and that is a war crime, but I see no trial ‘in absentia’ to actually declare the cretin in the Kremlin a war criminal. Maybe only Santa can save us. Terry

I’ll bet Turkey’s Wi-Fi is better than mine. Hope you’re having a great time. Terry

Perfecto, Terry. My sentiments exactly. Loved your clever rhymes, and the idea was simply "perfecto!"

Your rhyme and rhythm are such a delight to read, Terry, and your humor adds so much to your poetry. Perfect ending to this one as well!

Thanks, Ilene. I very nearly put *** instead of ass in case Soup vetoed it. But then I realised that Soup would only substitute ass for *** anyway so I might as well risk it. Seems they’ve loosened up a bit. Terry
