 ‘Twas close to the day when Buba Claus,
His red nose and Bowie knife shining,
Would be off to fill the manly's hearths,
With bacon for their frying.

The ground was bare of snow or ice,
The sky was clear of reindeer.
But Buba Claus was loading his sleigh,
Real high, with good stout Yule beer? 

Buba Claus was out in force,
His NRA cronies in tow,
To fill naughty radicals stockings,
With tiny bits of coal. 

Cigars dangled from their lips,
A spittoon he placed by their feet,
And, before the sleigh rose off the ground;
They tossed in another side of beef. 



Each carnivore, they laughingly swore;
Would have their fill this year,
And Bambi blanched as He flew by,
While Teddy Bears ran in fear! 

Over New Canaan His courses flew,
Past the homes of vegetarians;
And down their chimneys they did toss;
The views of Libertarians!

And when the last haunch was placed,
Upon the spits of the mighty,
His spat his cud of gnarly gum,
Into the spittoon real tidy! 

Then he flew off with a Ho, Ho, Ho,
And, not the ones for plowing 
Cause Buba Claus had his own ideas

Of all Santa's sissy endowings!

Had to look this one up when I saw your comment on another poem. Love it! Great sendup. I thought it was about Caleb at first, but it moved in a different direction and was written before he joined PS. Cheers, Roy

part 2, and the other poem you gave some suggestions for juicing the poetry up in...was a random doodle in one of my Moleskines that my wife typed up and put on here! The poem is somewhat drab, but not all are winners. I do not revise any of my poems. Once I purge out the lines, I AM DONE with 'em! I have a spot on editor who gets me...so if edits are made, they are slight. I Do enjoy feedback and reading some poets on here and I get your poems! ---This one Rocks 2

Very witty and fun to read Debbie. I loved many lines but the one that read Teddy bears ran in fear was real cute. Thank you for my placement in your Deja Vie Christmas Contest.
