Thanks Santa
Thank you Santa for the many gifts you have given me over the years
Wonder and joy
From you being able to fly around the world in one night
Giving presents to everyone
Back when I was little you only had about four billion people
Now it's over seven billion
I guess you have to eat the cookies a lot faster
You were nice to Rudolph when you made him your lead reindeer
You keep an eye on me so I will be nice and not naughty
Thanks for stretch Armstrong, though he didn't last long when I pulled him apart
Thanks for Evel Knievel and his powered motorcycle
So I could pretend to jump the Grand Canyon and not really break my bones
Thanks for Darth Vader's TIE Advanced x1 starfighter and doll
So I could pretend to choke people with my mind
And blow up planets with the Death Star that was about 75 miles in diameter
Thanks for eating my mom's cookies because she is a great baker
And thanks for not quitting, so other children can experience the joy I had
And have!
Thanks Santa!
