Dear Santa,
WHAT ON EARTH
Have you been doing since birth?!
Every time you come around
You just go back
to your white freezing home safe and sound.
It’s like:
“Here’s your presents, and bye!”
And that’s basically all
before you’re gone
in the blink of an eye!
Where do you go after every December?
Does anybody remember?
Do you go and ski?
And how does nobody see?
Nobody can miss you in your big red coat!
And you never responded to any letter we wrote!
You’re just a fat, lazy, old goat!
Don’t just say “I’m so sorry”
And then turn your red-cloaked back with a lame story.
In fact, I think I’ve seen you once or twice
In Japan eating some strange-looking spice
Or maybe tanning on the beach
Having what looked like a peach?
Perhaps spending your time in overcrowded Morocco
Made you forget to say “HO HO HO”?
And if you care about your Santa-like royalty
You will have to earn my loyalty.
And so all I can say is you’d better
Answer my letter.
But you still deserve some thanks
Otherwise the presents would be paid by our banks.
(I still want to know where you go before and after
But that’s for another time
When I come up with some sort of rhyme)
evil laughter
So live in fear
For I’ll be watching you every year
Waiting for you and your reindeer
Sincerely,
A child who will make things rough
Starting by asking for a lot of stuff
par Viviane C.
