Santa the Fat-Bellied Stranger

This is a poem I wrote for the Crazy Christmas Carol member contest.
It is in reference to Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. Hope you have some laughs!



Santa The Fat-Bellied Stranger


You know Batman and Robin
and Shakespeare and Poe
Oprah and Elvis
And Monet and Van Gogh
But do you recall
The most famous person of all?

Santa the fat-bellied stranger
(stranger)
Had a tummy full of ho's
(like Pavarotti)
And if he ever tried to
(tried to)
Couldn't even see his toes
(like a horse)
Now that he's getting older
(older)
With impotence and bum knees
(like McCain)
They never let poor Santa
(santa)
Savour all his common glees
(like Mrs. Claus)

Then one lonely Christmas Eve
Blue pill down the hatch
(please oh please)
Oh meds to my wife's delight
Won't you guide my libido tonight
Mrs. Claus from that day forward
(forward)
Always shouted out with glee
(have mercy)
"Santa you fat-bellied stranger
(stranger)
You'll go down in history!"
(like Casanova)

Suicidal Tree

Grain of life cries out
Imprisoned by its own skin
By own death set free

Without End?

All things earthly flowing together having no bounds
Without beginning and without end

Timeless beauty of the sky, reflecting the suns cry
A warm sun gives to the air, a breath which it will wear
Parted sea that gathers above, the heavens then share with love
Gentle air that caresses the rain, into valleys in which they drain
Rich earth that harbors ocean, with waters drenched in potion
Soils consume the perished, and seas that clouds once cherished
Life drinks from the soil, and cleanses the air in spoil
Sweet flora that swallow the air, with much beaut to ever share

As waters are clouded
The skies breath has been soured, and soils turned pungent to the tongue
A fierce sun burns with anger, its last lyric and verse unsung
A man with a stained sleeve gasps for air, as the earth cradles his knees
And there he finds in him, are all of these

Lover.

LOVER.


From withering heights
With much despair
Could I come forth
In ill repair

Without a cause 
Without a clue
Unbelievably in pain
No thanks to you

Always angry
Always sad
I so miss the days
When you were all I had

Never again
No matter what you say
Shall I take a chance
Not today



Leave me alone.

Father.

FATHER.



What did you say?
Why did you say it?
One things for sure
I know I hate it

So out of touch
You never knew
With all do respect
Why you do what you do

Forget it now
It's said and done
No need to worry
It won't come undone

I'll bury it deep
So you can't see
How much it did
Bother me



Its too late.

Brother

Up high above
or down below
where ever
will you go?

A glimmering sky
a flower be
to be observed
through glass I see

Over yonder
around the bend
till midnight skies
or till I say when

Regrets are harsh
Lies much worse
Where will you go
After this verse


I miss you so
