Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

in the event that you exist,
please could I have:

Social Democracy;
Redistribution of Wealth;
A Harmonica (Bb);

and maybe, if I am a good boy
and you have any left,

A Republic;

(My mummy says it would be nice
to see the State serving the People
for a change)

and all my socks have holes.

We will leave a mince pie and a stiff
Jack Daniels for you and Rudolph.

Please mind the ridge tiles as they
have just been re-mortared and mummy
says the insurance doesn't cover the
roof being hit by sleighs. She thinks
you're not insured.

Yours, in anticipation,
PT
