Oh Santa Clause Since you a registered foreigner Needing a green card to visit On Christmas Eve Having to document yourself As a non combatant alien X-rayed in Nova Scotia Picking up a special visa From a State Department official Drilled by Central Intelligence And being finger printed for the FBI Having to file a flight plan Being under fighter escort The White House is off limits As is much of Washington Maybe not a bad idea For they have given him So much grief Entering the freedom Of the United States Just being so jolly to be free He soon finds himself Under surveillance By Homeland Security Every house he now visits Is suspect to terrorist activities As he delivers from a child’s list They now go onto a computer Called Hoover’s agenda Dedicated to the one Whose power could Blackmail presidents Arriving over Tuscaloosa He finds another detour For the furniture In his sleigh Has not been approved For outside use The Furniture Police Are waiting in the bushes Enforcing City Council mandates And making it worse Parking has been restricted Meter maids, also in the bushes Are doing their thing Awaiting the next victim Parking has been banned To designated driveways And to a very limited Sometimes metered Public spaces Private lawns, porches, balconies, and roofs Have been banned for use Except by city approved usage So Santa you can go stealth But a missile Might go up his fanny Sorry T Town Next year he will use College students Delivering happiness Landing in the universities Quad That is until the administration Requires him to use its Bama cash In a tear from his eye Just wanting to make Children happy Just maybe next year He will have to deliver Federal Express Well maybe UPS For the word federal Now sends shivers Up his spine Thought: Laws sometimes are so funny, until you have to pay for them. Thought: If you hate me for speaking out but it makes you think, condemn me to my words.

Sherry but I know Santa takes more care than Fedex!!! If my packages could speak.... Cherish the good memories of the past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow. But above all... be kind to yourself today. |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh David, this is so very true, sweet friend, it seems the whole federal system is much harsher than ever, it seems anything in aerial view can be taken down! (sad sigh) This is a wonderfully both amusing and haunting, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet David, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Dang ... I really want to vote for this one, but it's really cluttered and lumpy right now. Knead through the dough some more, and pull out what you want to say, separating it from what doesn't need to be said. |
