THIS CHRISTMAS

Santa, we all request things aplenty from you; but like others, from you I don't want a toy

Santa, this Christmas can you please bring into this battered world, plenty of peace n lots of joy.

If I were a girl young, to carry my love letter, I would perhaps request you to be my special envoy;

But this Xmas, I request you no toys, nor any special messages for a boy.

At a juncture this, request you I cannot, to errands extra run; you already have chores aplenty;

Santa, neither you nor me are young now, nor can we, like teenyboppers , like teenagers be senti;

So I request you no toys, nor any messages to a boy, but pleeeease do bring in, plenty of peace n joy.
