Santa Lost His Way

Santa Lost His Way

I had written my letter to Santa Clause,
Had addressed and stamped it with care
I thought my list was a little too long
But I was always willing to share.

My simple request was a ring of gold,
And a tiara to place on my hair
A full-length coat of fur I sought
The colour I did not care.

A Mercedes Benz I wrote at last
Or a Cad if the Merc was not there
I asked for diamond earrings too
And an extra set for a spare.

But on Christmas morning, my tree was bare
No presents arrived that day,
I am very shocked and can only assume
That Santa lost his way.
