There's Something to this 'Santa Thing'

      Asked him for the good health I’d missed all year
         This week my aches and pains disappear

      Stress bombarded me every month, becoming quite severe
         But now in December, it’s vamoosed right out of here

      Feared to utter the words ‘Ice and Snow’ aloud
         Yet this December in Chicago, not one street plowed 

      Now, dare I ask for peace on earth, good will toward men?
         Not exactly Santa’s domain ~
            Please G-d he comes through again
