Santa's stuck
you say? In the chimney of course.
The lard-arsed ol'bastard struggling
soot-faced and yelling like a Salvation
Army bellringer for seasonal attention,
waking the whole damn sleeping house.
Rudolf shining his nose-red lamp
down the flue at his struggling boss
barely suppressing a snicker
wondering if the old grog-soused fart
just hasn't had too many cookies
and tippled too much candy cane schnapps!

Had an email last week from the editor saying a Santa send-up poem of mine has been reprinted in a holiday anthology: in Weihnachtsmarkt: A Danse Macabre Holiday Anthology, Adam Henry Carriere, Editor, Dec 13, 2017. Was posted on Fictionaut back in 2011 when 1st. published--but thot I'd give it another seasonal go-around.
Poor Santa!
And just in time. If the rest of us have to limit our sugar intake, why not the lard-arse, eh? *
Ha! A little different take on "The Night Before Christmas." I much prefer this one.
Just read the note. Congrats!
The old ways must change!*
Cute, Ed!
