Letter To Santa
Dear Santa, I fear I've not always been good,
Nor minded my mama as much as I should.
But I didn't mean it and if you will come
I'll leave you some cookies, some milk and some gum.
I pulled the cat's tail till he jumped and meowed
And scratched my dear daddy, who hollered aloud.
He said I would find an old rock in my sock,
But Mama said, "Hush, you're reacting to shock".
She suggested that I should just write you to say,
I'm sorry and I will try hard to obey.
I love you, dear Santa and if you forgive,
I'll carry the trash out each day that I live.
Don't listen to Sister who can't take a joke.
Could you bring her a dolly for the one that I broke?
Please tell my daddy I deserve one more chance
And not do as he threatened, to send me to France.
