Dear Santa

from Dear Santa by Doug McKean

lyrics

Dear Santa,
It’s that time of year again
I know it’s too much
To ask you to change the hearts of men
But if you see Marley’s ghost rapping on a door
You send in the ghost of Annie Moore

We used to take ‘em in as they came
Cough, shower, and shorten your name
So you bring me a list of a mother’s new plans,
Some cold defendants on the witness stand,
And a statue of liberty on the Rio Grande

Dear Santa,
Don’t they get tired of all the hating?
They even brought Ms. Nielsen in
The cruelty helps with their ratings
They’re hurting people just trying to turn their pages
We’re all mixed up about who belongs in cages

Dear Santa,
You’ll need no bag to bring me toys in
Just make my mom and dad
Swear off that Fox News poison
Santa, you fly, I’ll buy - anything you order
Everyone deserves a break after a long night of crossing borders
