Dear Santa, I fear I've not always been good, Nor minded my mama as well 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 poor papa who hollered aloud. He said I would get an old rock in my sock, But Mama said, "Hush, you're reacting to shock." She suggested that I should just write you a letter And promise that I would try hard to be better. I love you dear Santa and if you'll forgive I'll carry the trash out, each day that I live. Don't listen to Sister, who can't take a joke. Can you bring her a doll for the one that I broke? And please tell my daddy I need one more chance And not to do as he threatened, to send me to France. (Sung to the tune of "Away In A Manger") By: Joyce Dec. 2009 [This message has been edited by Joyce Johnson (12-16-2009 06:56 PM).] |

Dearest Joyce, You look like you were once a child full of mischief. I see it in your pticture today. I chuckled and then had to sing your song. It worked beautifully. Love and Merry Christmas, Alison PS - How was France? xoxoxo |

Now why didn't I let him do just that? Thanks Allison. Love, Joyce |

Joyce, This is a heart warming poem, a poem of seasonal contrition for a gift-getting wind fall. I love the perspective it is written from, well done. Dennis |
