#588 – The Best Present

The Best Present
This is the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!

Dinosaur for Christmas

Forget the games, forget the bike –
Those other gifts can take a hike.
There’s only one thing I would like:
a dinosaur for Christmas.

Some kids want toys, but I do not,
and I’m not asking for a lot;
just let me be the kid who got
a dinosaur for Christmas.

Inside my bedroom he can stay,
and we’ll be quiet when we play…
he’ll only eat one ton a day,
the dinosaur for Christmas.

I’ll find the tree with him beneath,
a-munching on our Christmas wreath…
so full of love (and full of teeth)
my dinosaur for Christmas.

If you’re interested, I’ve drawn a doodle with this theme (and this poem) once before. I like what came out this time a little more, but check out the original.
