Christmas Day
Christmas Day
I desired for bi-cycle as birthday present.
My Dad did not agree but just made a comment
and next put a clause,
‘Let it be Santa Claus
to bring your grand gift on coming Christmas event.
I inquired ‘how could he put cycle inside sock?
Please give me neither false hope nor funny shock!'
Dad told ’Don’t worry,
Santa will carry
to put cycle beside sock at night twelve O’clock.'
Obeying family routine, by ten I slept.
Rejoiced to see cycle beside sock on day next.
Someone knocked the door
afternoon by four,
producing the bill of bi-cycle for payment.
I rushed to Dad ‘Santa claiming money! Too wise!’
Bill payment is still due. Do you realize?’
Dad was prompt to say
‘Santa is sure to pay
later. Messenger has come to apologize.’
