My Letter To Santa

Santa was an old man, and he was fine.
He didn’t read a letter, and that was mine.
I didn’t get a present from his elves.
Not even a baby book from the shelves.
I was whining and whining throughout the day.
Feeling like he must pay.
My mum said, “Maybe you were a little too naughty”.
“I wasn’t!” I replied, very cranky.
I gloomily strolled to my primary school,
And someone bickered something not cool.
He yelled, “You know, Santa’s not real!”
So, I think I have a pretty good deal.
If Santa doesn’t give me a gift next year,
I will take up his career!
I’ll make sure every kid gets a present,
And they'll vote me to be their president!
