Choosing to believe.

by Runo Ededjo aged 12

As I put out my sleeping bag on Christmas Eve,
I thought:
“This is the night that I choose to believe,
In flying reindeer with red noses,
In the North Pole where everything is frozen,
In elves with very pointy ears,
And a toy factory filled with Christmas cheers.
In a man going around the world
In one night! Its Absurd!”
But tonight I will camp on my couch,
To see if Santa Claus will crouch
Underneath my tree with presents galore!
And enjoy cookies before he goes through the door.
Oh wait, does he not enter through the chimney?
He must get up and down really quickly.
One thing I must do is not make a peep!
And try not…to…fall…asleep.
