Merry Christmas to my "sisters"

My friend Susan, from Toronto, passed this on, so I am doing the same. For all my "sisters" - a very merry Christmas and best of wishes for 2009!


If I were ol' Santa, you know what I'd do?
I'd dump silly gifts that are given to you,
And deliver some things just inside your front door-
Things you have lost, but treasured before.

I'd give you back all your maidenly vigour,
And to go along with it, a neat tiny figure.
Then restore the old colour that once graced your hair
Before rinses and bleaches took residence there.

I'd bring back the shape with which you were gifted,
So things now suspended need not be uplifted.
I'd draw in your tummy and smooth down your back
Till you'd be a dream in those tight fitting black slacks.

I'd remove all your wrinkles and leave only one chin
So you wouldn't spend hours rubbing grease on your skin.
You'd never have flashes or wierd dizzy spells
And you wouldn't hear noises like ringing of bells.

No sore aching feet and no corns on your toes,
No searching for spectacles when they're right on your nose,
Not a shot would you take in your arm, hip or fanny
From a doctor who thinks you're a nervous old granny.

You'd never have a headache, so no pills would you take.
And no heating pad needed since your muscles won't ache.
Yes, if I were Santa, you'd never look stupid
You'd be a cute little chick with the romance of cupid.

I'd give a lift to your heart when those wolves start to whistle
And the joys of your heart would be light as a thistle.
But alas! I'm not Santa. I'm only just me -
Vintage earth mother & hippie you ever will see.

I wish I could tell you all the symptoms I've got
But I'm due at my doctor's for one of those shots.
Even though we've grown older, this wish is sincere
Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year!
