santa gives me the thumbs up!

i got to spend some quality time

with santa

and i took the opportunity

 to check in as far as

the whole "naughty or nice" business goes 

because really

and truly . . . 

i do live my life -

and sometimes

i bet

(depending

on your inclination

or your sense of good or bad

right or wrong)

i might dance somewhat haphazardly

and unpredictably

on either side of that fence

so i was super jazzed

when the hirsute one

slipped me a bag of candies and assured me

that i was a good dude

and in for more of the same

in terms of good times

and treats and happiness!
