I wrote a letter to Santa Claus, <br /> <br />Asking if there was room on his sleigh. <br /> <br />For one little kitten, with very long claws, <br /> <br />To help brighten up my Christmas day. <br /> <br />I asked him not to put it into my stocking, <br /> <br />With the fruits and nuts and candy bars. <br /> <br />My Parents would find it rather shocking, <br /> <br />Even if it came from as far away as Mars. <br /> <br />It would be my very first cat; my own, <br /> <br />When Mum and Dad see it they will be sure to moan. <br /> <br />Mum will sigh and pretend to die, <br /> <br />Dad will give a discrete little groan. <br /> <br />But I will be filled with great delight, <br /> <br />This will surely be a wonderful sight. <br /> <br />I will feed it on milk and fish, <br /> <br />And take it with me to bed. <br /> <br />For it will be the fulfilment of my wish, <br /> <br />Mum will say it can stay. <br /> <br />But you will see to its needs, <br /> <br />I knew now that I would have my own way. <br /> <br />For it is one of Santa's good deeds, <br /> <br />Now this will make my Christmas day.<br /><br />Bernard Shaw<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/santa-s-letter/
