Dear Santa

We all know that Christmas time,
Is your most chaotic time of year,
So I’ve made a list to help you,
And hopefully it’s really clear.

A great big pack of MMs (I eat them every day),
A pogo stick, a yo-yo, a massive wad of clay,
A new trampoline, a skateboard would be fun,
A packet of balloons, a new green water gun.

A dartboard to go up on the wall,
A pack of cards and another soccer ball,
I’d like to have a cricket set,
A weekly planner (so I don’t forget).

I’d like another iPad (the other one I dropped),
I can’t think of any other things – my brain has seemed to stop,
That’s all I’d like, you see,
But if you think of something else you can surprise me.
