Christmas Gift

Excited for toys, presents, and Christmas movies

Perhaps opening presents, like a ring with rubies

Staying home with no more work to do

Except for making cookies for you

While some people rush around shopping from store to store

Children are wishing for toys more and more

Opening presents with eyes wide and bright

Decorating trees with beautiful lights

Skiing and snow-boarding is what I like to do

And taking a mid-afternoon nap or two

Drinking a hot cocoa in the afternoon

Winter is better than a hot day in June

Roger Strikes Back by Lachlan R.

Roger Strikes Back

Grrrrr! I am not your minion

But you might think that in your opinion.

I might be lazy after all,

But each time you go down the hall…

I like to jump, climb, and run.

It actually is getting kind of fun.

If you'd only ask, I’d jump in a jiffy on your command.

I will do exactly what you demand.
