Dear Santa

  

Dear Santa, I don't want to set the world on fire or learn how to fly

Some places are so humid you could trim your tree with fish if you wish

The place I live is much too dry, it would seem, to do any such thing

So I tend to lean to swimming upstream with a mouth full of dust

After I import the weapons with which to arm bears and export toxic waste

My poisons inflicted on the poor, there is no way I can present myself as virtuous
