HOLIDAY 2012
THE GREATEST STOCKING EVER FILLED
Dear Santa, We would like a few special things in our stockings this year. We want a coffee table we can drink. We want a baby camel that spits a tiny swimming pool for our hard-workin’ hamsters. We want a moon map for strolling with our darlings in the cool earthlight. We want a fake ear that holds 100 quarters to blow Grandpa’s mind. We want to fall asleep in sweaters made out of lost baby socks. We, of course, want the socks to be lost, not the babies. If the babies are lost, we would like a metal detector to find all the robot babies. We want a before dinner mint that makes vegetables taste like crisp bacon. We want pre-melted crayons, framed for national random beauty day. We want fancy ice cream that makes us fatter than a manger full of promises. We want to blow sturdy bubbles to lift us back to the ones we love. Derrick C. Brown
