[stylist] writing exercise Christmas themed--2 poems

[Jacqueline Williams]

Not sure this is a humbug, but consider my assignment done, again, with
tongue in cheek. It is a twitter poem, and I take responsibility for the
inversion to force a rhyme.

Christmas Conversation with a Skeptic

In Santa Clause—
Do you believe?
"I guess—
As long as I receive."

I'm not a shopper either :). I'm way in for the 
on-line instead of in-line. Gettin' dangerous out 
there to shop, grannies pepper spraying folks 
reaching for boxes on the shelves, playing bumper 
carts down thin isles, and an oasis of good cheer 
when someone let's you pass through the line 
realizing you aren't cutting in line :). Bah humbug.
