Aftertaste – Christmas In Seattle

dream of sugar plums…don`t bite your nails, don`t suck your thumb…and

don`t sass mom and dad or on christmas morning no presents will be had

yesterday I rode my skateboard to the local shopping mall…I had me a secret

christmas agenda-I was going to see old Santy Claus…I waited in line for

like an hour and then I sat on the fat man`s lap…they took my picture and he

said, “what would you like for christmas?”…I pulled out my wishlist just

like that…hey I`d really like a tattoo…something that says a lot about me,

you know something real personal…I figured maybe a peace sign, or a

yin-yang, or a sunflower, or barbed wire stretched around my arm…that would

be so damn original

well I really wanted a choo-choo train…and I really wanted a

pony…it`s christmas time in

the city

hey I really would like a gas station attendant`s jacket…but it`s got to

have a nametag with a name that`s not my own though…I figured maybe Roy or

Chuck or Gus or Cooter, how about Cooter?…I think Cooter would be a great

name for a gas station attendant, don`t you, Santa?

ho, ho, ho…hope you find some originality underneath your christmas

tree…when it`s christmas time in seattle even Santa`s wearing flannel…I

want a hemp hat…I want a tattoo…I want a free piercing in the body part of

my choice…I want to wear pants with all the cuffs cut off…I want to grow a

goatee and drink a latte…I want to be alternative and fit in…I want to be

an individual like everyone else…I what to be alternative and fit in…I

want to be original like everybody else…can you fulfill my christmas wish?
