TREEHUGGER SANTA
Santa's gone mad, I'm told, he's now soft in the head and a bit hard in his heart, his cheeks pale, no longer red.
He's spending too much time on that damn internet again, joined a cult with weird ideas, geeky, weenie ones they spin.
Santa's been rambling of late, "children are our salvation, they'll inherit the world someday saving us from degradation."
He's lost his jolly soul somehow; I don't get his new practical bit, he cares more for Mother Nature then he does for my selfish spirit.
I sat on his lap the other night, gave him my three page list, Santa whispered in my ear, "you don't need these to exist."
I tried my best to get away but this overweight buffoon shouted in my surprised face the toys I needed to prune.
"Think green and healthy, go natural , get organic, wood is good" Santa bellowed; this nonsense has me in a panic.
Green this and green that, I'm tired of this liberal bent my beloved Santa now embraces and is afraid to circumvent.
Global warming is a joke, the North Pole has ice and snow give Al Gore a tree to plant, in a garden to grow; ho, ho, ho.

Hi JLY,
A rather serious rant sir. I too am repelled by our political profit motivations behind global warming. It is rather repulsive thay hitched their wagon to the green horse--or is it the other way around. The two have joined as propaganda has it so differentiating is moot.
The key flaw is we are told to think global, act local.
on that damn internet again is ryhme driven clumsy.
The wood is good encourages deforestation does in not?
I did not look deep into meter and such. Your seasonal take with political attack is enjoyable to read.
Happy Thanksgiving
Don
