CCLXVII - Listen Up, Fat Man

Listen up, Fat Man.

Don’t give me sock or hankies,

Forget about the books,

I have no need for power tools,

Leaf blowers are for sooks.

I have a phone and need no more

My kitchen is well kitted,

The sweaters have been well and good

But very few have fitted.

It’s not that I’m not grateful,

There is just nothing that I plead for:

I have not the slightest interest

In things I have no need for.

If I really must have a list

Of things to send my way:

How about an equal world

Where all can have a say?

Is a well managed planet

Beyond your elfish crew?

Resources should belong to all

And not just the selfish few.

And wars give me the irrits,

They are never ever right;

Kindly ditch all politicians

Who send our youth away to fight.

My last wish is a cheeky one,

And would let you retire your sleigh:

Could rid us of religion?

That would truly make my day.
