Is Santa Klaus a Lie?

A simple explanation

justifies irritation.

I’m irritated because

there isn’t a Santa Klaus.

I have looked everywhere

but Santa Klaus isn't there.

I resent the ones who know

there is a Santa Klaus though.

Why lie to a little child

that Santa has always smiled

even tho the kid in his lap

is asking for a lot of crap?

Santa is likely to be

just an impostor, like me.
