When I met Santa

I won’t forget when I was small
She said I could not play
My mother dragged me to the mall
We stood in line all day
“Be a good kid, Santa likes that”
“Stand still in line you little brat”
Be a good kid
Be a good kid
My turn now; on his knee I sat

This ugly guy scared me to death
He had a goofy beard
And he had the most awful breath
This guy was really weird
I started to cry, it wasn’t fair
If I was so good; why was I there?
I started to cry
I started to cry
I hated this so I pulled his hair

“I’m Santa Clause” he said his name
Still sitting on his knee
This has to be a real con game
I wanted to be free
I have been good, I fed him crap
I’m good in school, I take a nap
I have been good
I have been good
Smiling when, I pee’d on his lap

    How often do little kids cry when thy sit on Santa's knee? Happens a lot. Likd this form of poetry you used it - good flow, rhythm, rhyme as well. Nice presentation on this page too. Wish you well in your contest.

    A fine poem to give me a smile first thing!

    This poem that is sparkling in wit is the first poem I've read today and it sets the pace for an exciting weekend. I think I may let it be the theme of my holiday season, as well. I smiled all the way through and marveled at the end. HAHAHA!! *
