as he flew Christmas Eve near Atlanta.
When Santa Claus farted,
the reindeer all darted.
And poor Santa cried out, "Oh, Mylanta!”

The Atlanta Braves
losing in the Wild Card game.
          Done for the season.
                   There will be no World Series.
                             They just have to wait next year....

His Atlanta hotel is almost vacant and crumbling
Pieces of concrete

Single file to soup kitchen...
Fear of homelessness

Unemployment line

There was a guy whose nickname was Santa
That hailed from the great state of Atlanta 
.              Who acted like scrooge
              And a huge, loud stooge
     Now he lived; near beach in a cabana

There was a guy named Jake , from Atlanta
 In the Winter season he would play Santa
                    But he left that gig
                     To buy a big rig
     Next he wed a sweet lady named Anna

I devoured her in the way the moon took over the night time shining its light in all the darkest places, gazing among places untouched by another’s light. I was always your sun and you were my moon. Innocent rays of light touching each other's skin....

The doctor had not gotten the paper work back from Atlanta so he could 
not say what they said..

No news is good news so they say..

He put me on a heart monitor to wear for 24 hours..  

So another trip back to the doctor tomorrow..

Atlanta, Georgia
Is filled with some smart people
The parks offer peace
'Til someone is killed by guns
Sometimes~stabbing, girl and dog

Nearly every night or even in daylight someone is killed in the Atlanta area (including several towns and counties), sometimes in twos....

There was once a ZOO in Atlanta,
that had an old gorilla named Anna.
She had a special trick,
that would make you quite sick,
when she’d throw you up-chucked banana.

                                                 That you rock n roll
