Santas Dilemma

Paul Bell

Dear Santa

 

I’m writing early this year

Especially after the debacle of last year

You delivered the sexy underwear and the two-day hotel break to my wife

What the hell were you thinking

Does my wife look like she can get into a size ten

You useless fat bastard

Two days I had to suffer the wife parading herself

It was psychological torture

Swear to god, if I could’ve got my hands on you

Still swithering on suing your fat ass

This year I’m going to lay it on the line

Deliver it to the wrong address

Your Ho ho ho, will be, Oh oh oh

Do I make myself clear

Now listen up

Face pack and support tights

They go to the wife

Basque and French knickers, hotel included

To the lover

Don’t make me go back to that hotel with the wife

Or, I swear, you’ll be wearing those reindeer

Do you need a reminder

Have you got it now

Oh, and merry Christmas.

      My wallet feels the same.

      Well said, enjoy your humor.🤣 Your poem "Dear Santa" revolves around the humorous and frustrated tone of a husband expressing his dissatisfaction with Santa Claus for a poorly considered gift. This letter illustrates the complexities of relationships, expectations, and miscommunication through the lens of holiday gift-giving.

        Buying for women is always a nightmare and should come with a health warning.

        We live in an era of mismatched socks and so much more 🤣🙏🏻🕊️

          Why do people think you need socks, gloves, hankies.

          That's telling him! That'll teach him not to come down the chimney and fill our lounges with soot. It's why I hate Christmas morning - gotta spend it every year cleaning up the lounge cos some fat beardy bloke in welly boots and red costume descended down it! heehee.

            You would think by now he would get a makeover.

            Paul, this one had me laughing…the sheer chaos of this “letter” and the way the voice barrels forward without a filter is classic you. Dark humor done right. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

              He needs to get the basics right, even if it is his sister.

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                I mean. Yeah! Exactly!

                  Think he'll be on the ball this year.
