Winner of the Poem Competition

Last month we had a Poem competition. Your task was to write a poem to Santa to get what you want - whether it's a sex-puppy, bottle of rum or anything else. As a prize, we promised to publish the best poem. Here it is - it is written by Radha Jaini.

Dear most red & venerable Santa,

In this letter, I've put much thought.

It's not about what I really want,

but about what I really do not.

I know you can't control Grandma

[My father says nobody can!]

but if you could steal her gift to me,

I'd consider you quite a man.

I've had my full of knit sweaters

and I don't need anymore socks.

I tried to bar her from my house,

but there just aren't strong enough locks!

As for Aunt Mildred's gifts to me,

you can take those on your way out.

Give them to a child somewhere

who REALLY is suffering from gout.

Aunt Mildred is a nutritionist

as I'm sure you already know.

I just can't take anymore solutions

to problems that have yet to grow.

Take my little brother's gift to me, too.

[You'll notice it right away!

It's the one covered with glue & snot,

and probably paint and clay.]

He fancies himself an artist

and, though I heartily agree,

I think it's fair to give me skates

and give his art to a gallery.

I propose this simple solution to you:

for all my presents that go away

just leave one from your magic bag.

I think it's better this way.

It's not that I'm ungrateful, Santa.

It's not that I'm mean or don't care.

I think of cold, sick artists in the world,

and I feel that this is unfair.

Leave me the bike and the new clothes.

Leave me the lego zoo.

Take my presents to children who need them.

It's the least I can do.
