I had written him a letter which I had, for want of better

Knowledge, sent to where he came from in my childhood, YEARS ago.

He existed when I knew him, so I sent an email to him

Just “on spec”, addressed as follows: Santa.Claus@the.North.Pole

And an answer came directed in a writing unexpected,

(And I think the same was written on a antique Apple Mac) --

‘Twas a p*ssed-off elf who wrote it, and verbatim I will quote it:

“Santa’s buggered off, and reckons that he’s never coming back”.

In my wild erratic fancy, visions come to me of Santy

Watching cricket on the telly, full of jolly Christmas cheer;

While, through Grieg and Benaud’s banter, the beleaguered Mrs Santa

Hears him yelling “While you’re up darl’, would you grab another beer?”

And the pub hath friends to meet him, and their kindly voices greet him

In the murmur of the football on the set above the bar,

And he sees the vision splendid of League seasons never-ended,

And at night the wondrous coverage on Foxtel and Austar.

I am standing in the kitchen, softly mutterin’ and bitchin’,

While the baby rips up magazines and spreads them down the hall,

And the foetid air and gritty of a nappy that is sh*tty

From the kitchen tidy floating spreads it foulness over all.

And in place of carol-singing I can hear persistent ringing

From the supermarket checkouts as they add the damage up,

And the language uninviting when the cricket gets exciting,

As Queensland blows its chances of another Pura Cup.

And the hurrying people daunt me, and their pallid faces haunt me

As I rush to post last-minute cards to relatives I’ve missed,

Then I’m sewing, wrapping, baking til I hear the baby waking,

So I feed him, change his nappy and make one more bl**dy list.

And I somehow rather fancy that I’d like to change with Santy,

Let him take a turn at battling with the checkout queue at Coles,

Handle all the preparations, gifts and food and decorations --

But I doubt he’d get the job done, Santa.Claus@the.North.Pole!

Have a good one, everybody!
