“You’ll bounce.” They said,
And so, I jumped. Without a
Doubt, I’d toughen up. “Boys
Don’t cry.” The big one said,
When I fell and bumped my head.
If these are friends, I’d rather
Have none, cause none of this
Is any doggone fun.

Little ones with wide eyes
Rejecting sleep with heavy sighs
Anticipation across the nation
Eagerly awaiting an overnight surprise
A sleigh on the roof
The tap of a reindeer hoof
It ‘twas a dream or so it seemed
Drowsy faces behold the proof
Underneath the Christmas tree
No sign of slumber left to see
When gifts are spied, it can’t be denied
“Santa came!” come shouts of glee.
