Saint Nick

I once wrote a letter to Rudolph
I asked him if he could bring Santa my way
But I guess Rudolph can't read English
Because Santa never came my way
I always seemed to get coal instead of fire trucks
I even left a cookie out for golly Saint Nick
...only the ants ate it...
And I got yelled at by my dad
One year I decided I was going to give Santa the letter myself
I was going a good distance up north until my dad found me
he thought I was trying to run away...
...just trying to find Santa dad....
One Christmas I thought the postman was out to get me
That he wanted to destroy my letters to Santa
So I hid in the bushes and waited for that evil postman
And when he came I threw a water balloon at him
And made a run for it in his car
..until he stopped me...
And turned me over to my dad.
..I got more than a yelling that day....
One year I decided to visit Santa myself at the mall
Even take a picture with the man himself
I sat on his lap happy as ever
But Santa isn't supposed to smell like cheap cologne
"And why is Santa hitting on one of his elves" I thought to myself
"Isn't he married?  Is it even possible to be with an elf?"
Then he told me he was Santas representive for my town
So I told him what I wanted
I guess the message never got through
Because all I got was coal again
One year I gave up on Santa Claus
And believed he didn't exist
Until the day before Christmas Eve.
When I swore I heard a noise on the roof
But I guess he heard that I didn't believe in him anymore
And rode away on his sleigh

But now I'm older
And a lot wiser
And I've learned the truth about the world
So this year, hopefully, my age will be a factor
In getting my letter to good ole Saint Nick
And this years letter is the most important out of em all
And I hope it reaches Santa and I hope he reads it
Because this year..
I'm asking Santa for you....
