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.
