Excitement

Excitement 

Has he been yet, has he been?
Has he left me any toys?
I thought that I heard something,
I thought I heard a noise!

I can’t see any presents,
There aren’t any over there,
Perhaps it was that noise I heard,
When he left them on the stair.

Do you think that I should sneak down,
And check under the tree,
It’s time to get up anyway,
It’s gone past half past three.

Look!  There they are, I’ve found them!
He’s put them round the tree!
So many gifts to open,
And all of them for me!

I won’t eat all my chocolate,
I don’t think that I could,
My tummy needs room anyway,
For when I eat my Christmas pud.

I really am excited,
But I must stop, and pause,
And thank those who gave this to me,
Oh! thank you, Santa Claus!

Mick.

I am a 71 year old retired coal miner, who spent 30 years working underground. Having time on my hands, and in order to keep my brain exercised, I decided to try to write poetry and put down on paper some of my life experience, and my hopes, dreams and other thoughts. I also do a little gardening, but I am hopeless at housework. Much to my wife's displeasure.
