Dear Father Christmas,

 This Christmas seems so far

so far far away and who knows

if I will make it to that exciting day

where presents are opened

and dead birds scorched in ovens.

Dear Santa,

I do not know how to write

a wish list for you.

My biggest wishes you cannot give.

What I want you have to take.

Dear Papa Noel,

give my share of expensive crap

to someone more worth than what I am now.

Dear St. Nick,

You have to understand

my body cannot withstand

this much pain. Christmas seems like a hollow dream

and I am stuck in an endless stream.

Dear Mr. Claus

On Second thoughts

I would like some gifts this year.

My requests are simple:

a rope, or gun, or pills, or bleach;

Whichever is cheap.
