Letter to Santa

A collaboration with Margie (Barleygirl). I love you Margie!!!

My messy missive to ole saint Nick

I've decanted a wish for a dead wombat
And I'd like it wrapped in maggoty fat
Not a chinchilla or a kangaroo rat

Been wanting some trees, a forest of crab-apple
And a still to distill my sassafras Snapple
I'll suck the suds while sunlight dapples

And d****t don't forget the pudding cups
Don't assign that to one of your screw-ups
Or some elfin fool with drunken hiccups

I'd like a jejune plain with ziggurats
Which of course needs some rampant rusted bats
Screeching through their crumbling habitats

And the number 14, I'd like to own that

Also some Misty mermaids
Churning in marmalade
If all of my bidded boons are purveyed
I'll spring the reindeer from the stockade

Don't mess with me Santa,
Haven't forgotten last years piddly-a*s socks.

This reads a lot like some of Miss Margie's writings, but I'm not surprised, since y'all seem to do a lot of collab poems together. I loved this list of demands, lol!! I feel the "getting socks for Christmas" part 100% 😆

Of course, TS, 100/100

Actually, this is our only colab. We started another one, but I was a jerk and ruined it.

[Nix is typing...]

A jerk? You? No! Really?

[Nix is typing...]

I coulda swore I've seen other things on here your page that said something like, "Written with Barleygirl (Margie)" but if you saw this was y'all only collab, I'll believe you. 😺

[Nix is typing...]

That made no sense ^^^
If you said this was y'alls only collab*** I meant

[T.S. Ulmus]

We have written poems for each other but this is our only collaborative effort. Impressions of autumn was a poem for her

Love , Ankita

Socks, socks, and you've guessed it, socks.
Must admit, Santa has really blown it through the years, I've actually asked for socks in the hope of getting a Mermaid. Go Margie, great write.

[T.S. Ulmus]

Yeah, the mermaid thing was totally her. It was a very fun collaboration and I'm glad you liked it.

[Cherrie Palmer]

So funny the volley of thought really works. I kinda agree with Dave. Santa will be scared. I love the expression ...decanted wishes... that is a title for another tale.

[T.S. Ulmus]

Thank you for your kind review, I'm sure she would thank you too. Writing was fun as we went askew and I think that Joy clearly reads through.

[Cherrie Palmer]

I really enjoyed it lots of fun to read.

[Dave Brown]

I kina think you're going to scare Santa away with these requests

[John the Baptist]

Were you and bg twins separated at birth?

[T.S. Ulmus]

It reads a lot like her because a lot of it is her, and she's so talented that she can't help but shine through.

TS & I indeed did share a tight curl down the creative canal recently, which might be why this reads like a twin squeeze *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie
