When Santa Came to School

When Santa Came to School

 A funny Christmas poem about being forgetful.


Santa came and said to me,
"Have you been good? Now let me see."
He checked his list, then he frowned
and groaned a deep depressing sound.
But still he said, "Speak loud and clear
and tell me what you want this year."
I said, "I told you yesterday."
He looked confused to my dismay.
I said, "Remember, at the mall?"
He cleared his throat and tried to stall.
Then his face turned bright and red.
"I can't remember," Santa said.
"Well, what I want," I said to him…

but I forgot. Now things look grim
'cause here it is half past December
and what I want we can't remember!
