I'm writing this note to inform you
That taxes have taken away
The things that I find most essential:
My workshop, my reindeer, my sleigh.

I now make my rounds on a donkey;
He's old and crippled and slow.
So you'll know if you don't see me Christmas
I'll be out on my ass in the snow.

Santa Claus

leans over to santa and whispers..."here take this, when you see john c. ask him, he'll know what to do with it ;^)
