Santa Dear Santa
A little boys letter to santa.
Oh Santa Dear Santa
Oh santa dear santa
what’s a little boy to do?
You sent this horrible little elf
to tell on me to you.
I’d like to get to know him
but I think I might just pass.
You know as well as I do
nobody likes a grass.
I know sometimes I’m naughty
it’s not as if I’m wild.
To push your mummy’s buttons
is part of being a child.
My mummy calls him candy cane
and laughs at what he does
But I know if that was me
she’d kick up such a fuss.
I won’t tell you any stories
about my little elf.
Unlike him I’m not a tell tale
I’ll keep them to myself.
So, keep in mind this message
when he tells you what I do.
For he is not so lily white
he can be naughty too.

Thank you Brenda. I actually wrote this one for my grandson. When I read it to him he would believe I had written it :)

Charlie,
I only learned about the elf on the shelve a few years back...how I feel for parents doing that.
Your words are great. The little elf is naughty too...love that.

Glad I gave you a smile Ann.

Absolutely delightful! I'm not a fan of these elves either! I think they worry a lot of children. Thanks for the smile.

Thanks Jason. My grandson just left his elf with me today when he went to school. I wonder what mischief I can up to? :)

Thanks for visiting John. It was good to write a light hearted poem for a change.

Yeah Charlie, those elf’s on the shelf (elves on the shelves) do get up to a lot of mischief. I’m sure the boy will get a present, but good initiative to write to Santa just in case.

I think Santa will give a gift whether naughty or nice
