A Christmas Story

This memory of mine
Reminds me of a movie
A time when little mattered
It was so groovy 
When I was a boy
Christmas time was the buzz
I unwrapped many gifts
About twelve I was
When I was all finished 
Thought I was done 
My dad pointed behind a cabinet
Was he doing this for fun?
I walked over to it 
And pulled out my last gift
Wondering what it was
I started to open it in a swift
Finished opening the present
And you'll never guess what I saw
A Red Ryder bb gun
I just sat there in awe
