My Beef With Santa
Hey Santa, What’s up Dawg? You chillin’ tonight?
Don’t get too cozy, ‘cuz I’m about to pick a fight.
I didn’t get bupkus last year, thanks to you
I wrote you a letter – how much good did THAT do?
You’re lucky you’re up north and not down here,
I would kick your ass. Somebody hold my beer!
Listen, fat man, you better stop slackin
Deliver the goods or bad things can happen.
Just bring me my stuff – I am not jokin’
If not, you may have to sleep with one eye open. 👀
I’ve been planning revenge through most of the year
Be a shame if something happened to one of your reindeer.
I’d be careful before drinking that next shot of eggnog,
And you may want to protect your precious little yule log.
My list this year is the same as my last one.
I’ve made my point, so don’t pull a fast one.
Just bring the nail clippers and hat – no games or schemes
Or I will haunt you and your elves every night in your dreams. 👻
Now I’m sorry for causing you all this stress
Cuz I just found those things at CVS.
I still love you, Santa! 😍
Hi Jenny – you have been on my mind as l cook your recipes this week – l hope you and yours are safe . Best – Greg
Thank you. So far we are safe but ready to evacuate if needed. So much sadness and pain for so many…
Hi Jenny – l hope you are well and safe and that your home survived.., there really are no words – sending love and prayers to you and all the communities and the animals … in this horrible mess l look to those who are helping to keep my spirits up. Take good care and keep cooking!
Keeping you in my prayers and all of CA during this horrible time. I hope you are safe.
🙏🙏🙏

Thank you. We are packed and ready to evacuate if needed. It’s just surreal, like a bad dream… So hard to believe what is happening.☹️
Hi Jenny,
I just looked you up in the wee hours of the morning, because I have several of your recipes saved in my “food favorites”. From there I poked around to your blog, and found this post! 😂 Loved your poem!! and some other posts I’ve read. Growing older right along with you, and smile sharing so many same thoughts!
Wishes for a wonderful year ahead, and so glad I found you again, feels like I found a friend. 🌸
Lmao!!! Jenny you are a poet and you dont even know it!!! Thanks for the laugh!! I hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New year today! Wishing you the best of health and happiness always! Much love! Sue McCarthy 🥳
Not looking for a lost episode, but I was wondering if you remember a man on your editorial team named Raymond Elmore?
If not, no worries. Lovely poem by the way, and happy new years.
