If I Were Santa

          If I were a rockin' Santa,
          You know what I'd do?
          I'd dump the silly gifts
          That are given to you.
          I'd deliver some things
          Just inside your front door --
          Things you have lost,
          But treasured before.

          I'd give you back all
          Your maidenly vigor,
          And to go along with it,
          A neat, tiny figure;

          Then restore the old color
          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 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 queer 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 a 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 simply just me,
          The matronest of matrons
          You ever did see.

          I wish I could tell you
          All the symptoms I've got,
          But I'm due at my doctor's
          For an estrogen shot.

          Even though we've grown older
          This wish is sincere:
          Merry Christmas to you!
          And a Happy New Year!
