Santa I Want

Santa, I want a killer shark
but one that breathes in air
and fitted with some roller skates
to get from here to there.
Armed with a sub machine gun
and grenades and all that stuff
'coz John next door he bullies me
and  I've about had enough.

Congrats on your win, Viv! Captured beautifully through children's eyes, joyful yet sorrowful bullying starts so young! Captivating creative write, I enjoyed reading :)

Thanks, Melissa, sadly you're right, bullying and controlling does start young, and not always nipped in the bud in time. Viv x

EXCELLENT. I love how you did it and made it sound just like how a young boy would write it!

I think as kids we all had those little 'weapons of mass destruction' moments with someone, or maybe just wanting a tree to fall on them, like in a Warner brothers cartoon. Thanks for dropping by, Andrea,Viv x

Thanks Arthur yes, when I was at junior school a lad picked on me and my pal until one winters day when he was wrestling my buddy to the ground, I lifted a slab of ice out of a puddle the size of a dinner plate and smashed him over the head with it. That did the trick. regards, Viv
