The Naughty List

Tongue in cheek.

Only two weeks left

not a hope for redemption

excuses won't cut it

my only hope? an exemption!

I try hard to be good

really I do

but when temptation is dangled

my defences are few

my intentions are good

but my body a traitor

my mind walks the tightrope

and I just pay for it later

Every year it's the same

How I try to be good

I'd be an angel, not devil

Oh, if only I could!

So I'll try not to convince you

with false words to be better

such a sexy ole Santa

won't be fooled by a letter

So I'll strike you a bargain

maybe cut you a deal

park on my rooftop

and see how naughty might feel

Now, no pressure Santa

you do what is right

but the stilletos are on

with the red lace tonight

 

Now I wait for the backlash

no condemnation I fear

all you saintly do-gooders?

He'll be a tad late this year ;)

I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause too, but this is ridiculous!
But anyway in all seriousness I found this funny and enjoyable...be it unorthodox to say the least, but the praise still remains. That was probably the most unusual Christmas poem I've read in a while, but hey in my arrogant opinion it was worth it

[Michael G.]

Eat the cookies left behind and drink the milk. Finally, a different treat for old St. Nick. Or is it?
Great poem.

[LA Lorena]

Some Santa's are more lucky than other. I like the tale in the poem. Thank you for the fun poem to read. A excellent poem.

I have just forwarded your writing to Mrs. Santa who is sending six ugly gnomes with your bundles of coal. In the meantime, I have sub-cotracted my sleigh . . . .

[LA Lorena]

LOL! Bring on the coal!
