Santa, please could you do something

about that annoying elf.

He snoops and pries and makes me cry

and I don't think he's worth a shelf.

He told my mama that I ate

one of her special cookies.

He told my pa that I took his

biscuit without saying please.

I have heard that he does lie

to you about the things we do.

I have never shot a walrus.

It's not what I want to do.

My brother heard there were pictures

of our friend Pastor Mike.

We don't know what was in them,

but we know that they caused a fight.

Santa, does he sell his pictures

to the rags or "special" sites.

We never agreed to pictures.

We don't believe that it's right.

Did you even know he took time

away from making the toys?

Time that would be better spent

building blocks for the girls and boys.

Or perhaps he might be able to

build something we all want.

I am fond of Unicode but

I could use a nicer font.

So do you think you that could relieve

him of his awful chore.

It would really help us all

as he is really quite the bore.
