A Christmas Pony *<\/strong><\/p>\n

I want a pony for Christmas.
\nIt\u2019s the only thing
\nThat\u2019s on my wish list.
\nNo, I don\u2019t want clothes or toys\u2026
\nI promise to be good
\nAnd won\u2019t make any noise.
\nI\u2019ll always listen and do my chores\u2026
\nIf Santa will deliver a baby horse.
\nI know it\u2019ll be hard
\nFor St. Nick to wrap him\u2026
\nDon\u2019t want to fold, or break,
\nOr snap him.
\nBut\u2026
\nI\u2019m sure he can slip down our chimney\u2026
\nIt\u2019s built of brick and isn\u2019t flimsy.
\nA pony would fit real easy
\n(Well, maybe just a little \u201csqueezy\u201d)
\nBut he\u2019d sure look swell,
\nSitting under our tree\u2026
\nIf Santa would only bring a pony for me.<\/p>\n

Christmas Epilogue<\/strong><\/p>\n

Early Christmas morning\u2026
\nI creep down the silent stairs.
\nStill dark but I need to know\u2026
\nHas Mr.Claus yet been there?<\/p>\n

Bare feet on a chilly floor\u2026
\nI make my way to the bright tree.
\nYes! He\u2019s already made his visit
\nAnd there\u2019s something with a label for me!<\/p>\n

Should I wait for others to awake?
\nOr throw all caution to the wind?
\nNot much of an internal struggle\u2026
\nI rip at the paper and begin.<\/p>\n

Tearing sounds fill the air,
\nAs colorful scraps litter the floor.
\nSanta\u2019s used a strong sticky tape
\nBut I don\u2019t mind my unwrapping chore.<\/p>\n

In a blink, there it stands\u2026
\nYou know what it is of course.
\nJust what I\u2019d been asking for\u2026
\nI finally got my baby \u2026\u2026\u2026?<\/p>\n
