Brilliant freestyle writing. Now, all you have to do is pay for all those most expensive gifts (unless it was fiction.)
Definitely a great entry for the Christmas Poetry. The photo of the boy was perfect for your poem. If I had that much money I would fly to America! Happy Christmas friend. K xx

Thank you for the great review and generous stars, K. Turns out in the end, he didn't actually buy ANY of the presents. Lol. Have yourself a wonderful Christmas as well. I'm glad you liked the piece.

Comment from Moonbeams Musings 55
I was thinking how I would like to have been a recipient that Christmas. I enjoyed the way you set up for the ending by sharing what wonderful gifts you had given your family. I didn't get it at first and then it hit me. What a great ending and poem. Great job!

Comment from Thomas Blanks
Porch Pirates like Hobby Lobby packages...
They might have ARRt supplies.
Porch Pirates are more likely to live in ARRkansas.
Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Wendy G
Lol. Very clever and witty! I hope you get some good gifts in return, but maybe paid for, at the right price! I bet you are a most popular relative! Well written, great fun, good rhyme and flow. Best wishes for the contest.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hi DragonSkulls, all that I kept thinking about as I read this poem was how much did all of this cost? I hope he tells us. Well, I got my wish and my answer. Zero, zilch dollars. Porch Pirates are naughty, and they'll not be on Santa's list. However, Santa better stay clear of the Porch Pirate because he/she just might steal Santa's toy-filled sleigh when he's on a little break.
A fun, true, but sad poem because it's a reality of today's world. Well done. Very entertaining. I loved all the gifts that everyone got, especially the gold necklace that Sis got--my brother once gave me a gold necklace for Xmas.
Great photo choice. It captures the wonder of Xmas on the child's face.
Keep the blue waters flowing. Margaret ~ LateBloomer

Hahaaa. That's a great idea, have someone steal Santa's bag while he's down a chimney, delivering presents. I might have to use that. Lol.
Thank you so much for the great review, Margaret. Yes, it's sad how people stoop to doing this. I love watching the YouTube videos where porch poachers get their just reward and their plans get foiled one way or another.
I dearly appreciate the generous stars. I hope you have yourself a wonderful Christmas.

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Last Year's Christmas, is a virtual Best Santa ever list that would make anyone the Superstar of gift-givers. Of course, being the Superstar of gift snatchers might tarnish that honor. Might.

Lol. Oh, I'm sure it would. Thank you for the great review and generous stars, Bill. I really appreciate it, friend. Have yourself a great Christmas.
Comment from Gloria ....
Your family is lucky they have a Santa Poacher rather than a Santa Claus.
Superb rhyme and metre here and how lucky all those UPS deliveries turned out to be just the thing.
Wishing you great luck with the Contest Committee with this gem. :))

Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
Dang, I was feeling this poem until I realized all the gifts described were stolen from others. The text is a nice size. The message is clearly stated. The descriptions of the gifts are well-done in rhyming verse. The visual fits well. This will be for sure a stand-out/memorable poem in the Christmas poetry contest. Ho, ho. ho. a stealing I will go! LOL

Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
Oh dear!
Sad but too true all over the world even in my little town in Australia.
Craftily written and kept me intrigued until the end.
Geez! I even thought you must have been a special kind of guy NOT a guy with special talents.
Blessings
