For Santa – My Last Minute Note

by Iona Mandal aged 8

Dear Santa,

I have some worries….

I hope I am first on your list
I have lost my school bag and nearly broken my wrist.

My new book is tattered, the pages are ripped
The biscuit I baked is severely chipped.

My mum and dad are in a big, big row
My doll needs a dress and frilly, blue bow.

My hands are dripping wet, I need a new towel
Mum asked me to plant seeds, I need a new trowel.

My clock is broken and my blanket is rough
Thank your dear Santa, I think that’s enough.
