but all I really want this year / is for this year to end
if you could put a call in to the office next door over
I surely would appreciate it, friend
I'm feeling pretty hopeful
about the coming year
it might not be the best, but can't be worse
So maybe in my stocking
could you slip me something strong
to knock me out 'til January 1st

Yes, if you could cut it short, I'd sure be grateful
I've had it up to here this year's been hateful
Now I know you can't fit New Years
in your sleigh up on the roof
but Santa, this year sucked and that's the truth
Dear Santa Claus, I'm not a praying man
so I'm taking this to you instead of God
but what I understand is, you two are pretty close
so could you ask him, next year spare the rod?

Better than I was when I wrote that? Probably not. I was pretty pleased with how that one turned out. It's a blues.
Sounds better than it reads.
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were concerned for my happiness. I thought I'd reassure you!
I don't mind masochism, long as it's self-inflicted.
HAH! That was so hilarious I'm making it it's own post!
Some time down the road.
