Christmas Wishes

Come along on the train,
There's Christmas Wishes to make,
Santa is the eningeer,
Time's a wasting we can't be late.

Brother and I sit on the front,
Secured on the cow catcher,
Instructed on how to be safe,
All by Santa's Special Dispatcher.

Think carefully and think real hard,
As your mind begins to wander,
Christmas is not very far away,
So wishes we must surely ponder.

What is at the top of your list,
A skateboard with fast wheels,
Or a dolly that sings and talks,
Something with great appeal.

I want a carriage for my new doll,
I got her for my birthday,
I have wished for it since then,
I hope to get one Christmas Day.

Brother wants a Nerf bow and arrow,
He thinks he is Robin Hood,
He wants me to say I'm Little John but,
I can't play a boy very good.

I am still thinking of gifts to wish for,
Shoes, a coat or lots of candy,
I'll be happy with anything,
I just think gifts are really dandy.

Christmas Wishes take a lot of time,
You can spend hours thinking,
It is hard to make up your mind,
When ideas are constantly blinking.

Hurry up now and make your list,
We must send to the Jolly Old Man,
He has to fill all of the wishes,
It is a lot that we kids demand.

The train is slowing down,
Santa has called a stop,
We must hand in our list now,
Santa's elves have come to shop.

We want to take a minute to say,
Merry Christmas Wishes to you,
May this day be extra special,
As we remember Christ's Birthday too.
