Oh my gracious have I got a lot of poems to post between now and the last day of Christmas! Here is something fun for one of the last shopping days:
Dear Santa
by Jack Prelutsky
Dear Santa Claus,
Its me again
reminding you I'm here
I'm making my list easier
and shorter than last year.
I'd like a stack of comic books
A dozen apple pies
A box of chocolate brownies,
An elephant that flies.
A porpoise for the bathtub,
A dragon for my room.
A robot that does homework
and can also use a broom.
I'd like a hippopotamus,
A trumpet, and a drum.
I could use a half a dollar,
And a million sticks of gum.
Just leave them underneath our tree
or near our fireplace.
O, you probably won't bring them,
But I'm writing...just in case!
copy-write 1981 Jack Prelutsky
from It's Christmas
illustrated by Marilyn Hafner
Harper Collins, 1981
