A Letter From Santa

by Maggie Van Ostrand
Maggie Van Ostrand

Dear Kids,

It's been a tough year, what with diseases, quarantines, and elections, so I just ate the milk and cookies you left for me and didn't leave anything for you. That's life. Deal with it.
You're not getting a drone
You're not getting a phone
You're not getting a Minecraft by Lego
Tho' you may think you are,
You're not getting a car
You'll not even get bacon with Eggo
Star Wars won't Awaken,
With your seat not taken.
You won't see your photos on Flickr
So you may feel left out
Like sour with no kraut
See me only in the Pedia called Wickr

Thanks for the snack,
Love Santa
