The other one must be the doppelganger you keep telling me about - the one with the normal eyes who is allowed on the streets in the daytime.<BR/><BR/>No poem for you, but a true story (would I ever lie to you??)which happened to me yesterday. Outside my local supermarket, I met Santa Claus - no, not one of those old men dressed up in a red suit, but the Real Santa. I know he was real because he told me so - and he was sitting in a huge sleigh, with a beard down to the ground.<BR/>Now, I'm past 75 and I've never met the real Santa, so here was my great chance. I threw some money into his collecting bucket, and he said "Ho,Ho, what would you like for Christmas sonny?"<BR/>I whispered in his ear "I would like a nubile 18-year-old girl for Christmas."<BR/>Santa leaned towards me and replied "Ho, Ho, Ho - wouldn't we all HoHoHo?"<BR/><BR/>I've lost my faith in Santa now - he's just a dirty old man, like all the rest of us!Geoff Sandersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00521240779908120960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9804989.post-1134659601857366812005-12-15T10:13:00.000-05:002005-12-15T10:13:00.000-05:00plant buttto stooland wait.(a few chocolatetreats ...plant butt<BR/>to stool<BR/>and wait.<BR/><BR/>(a few chocolate<BR/>treats for Rudolph<BR/>won't hurt)<BR/><BR/>Santa will<BR/>shimmy down<BR/>chimney<BR/>with delish<BR/>bourbon for you.Prishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970753027686923295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9804989.post-1134648598116532802005-12-15T07:09:00.000-05:002005-12-15T07:09:00.000-05:00I always heard those bug ears were pretty cute, Ra...I always heard those bug ears were pretty cute, Rae lol.
