dear santa
i want toys
lots and lots of toys
colorful beads, stuffed animals
pop-up books, a green tent
dora, diego, all about dvds
connecting tracks and construction sets
a kitchen, utensils, action figures
bats and balls for all kinds of sports
jacks, hulla-hoops, jump-rope
crayons, diggers, tall cranes
racing computer games
a school and friends
who wouldn't call me names
fresh air and palm trees
sandy beaches but no global warming
poor people to get a home
no guns, wars or military
cousins to play with me
everyone to stop eating animals
a nice daddy without a beard
but santa i know i've been bad
and if i can't have anything
then can i just sit beside mommy
watching her smile happily
