Over in the corner
Underneath the tree
There’s a shiny silver present
That’s been wrapped up just for me.
It’s been sitting over there
For more than a whole week.
If I unpick just the corner
I can take a little peek.
This sticky tape is tricky
I’ll pull a little more,
And then I’ll put it all right back
The way it was before.
On no! I pulled too hard.
There’s paper on the floor.
I can see my present now,
But Mum is at the door!
I think that she’ll be cross.
And Father Christmas too!
He’ll put me on the bad list
Although it isn’t true.
I really am a good kid.
(My Nan says I’m a joy!)
I only wanted just a peek
At my new Christmas toy.
The only thing to do
Is to hide behind a chair.
If I stay perfectly still
Mum won’t know I’m there.
She comes into the room
And cries out “You’re so silly!”
I think that I’ve been caught,
But she’s looking right at Millie.
Patience is a virtue?
I don’t agree with that.
Check all your presents early,
Then blame it on the cat!
lol, oh the poor cat! I won’t tell my kids that idea as they would totally take advantage of their poor cats. Love it, thanks for sharing xx

He blamed a dog for pulling down curtains at my parents’ house the other day too… now I am suspicious! 🙂
I love a poem that rhymes (it gets me bopping along with the story). That poor cat!

I know! She didn’t know what was going on! 🙂
Ha! As always, I love this. We don’t put presents under the tree until Christmas Eve because between the boys, the cats and the dogs they wouldn’t last long! In fact, we don’t even have a tree yet.

I would like to say that I have learnt from my mistakes and that next year I will be a bit more restrained and sensible, but I just get too excited. I’m the biggest kid of all about Christmas! 🙂
Your poems are magical.

Thank you Anne x
That poor cat! He gets the blame for most things 🙂
One of the key reasons to have pets surely?
Poor cat! lol
Wonderful poem! #abitofeverything
Yes, she sulked the rest of the day! 🙂
I love this! Really made me giggle (Poor cat haha!)
Your rhymes are fantastic x

Thanks Dawn. High praise from someone as fabulous as yourself!
I just love this… and the best bit is the ending! Who needs patience with opening gifts?! Lovely post! #mg
Thanks! Yes, it was probably a bit mean of me to put them out so early really! 🙂
This is fab! It’s so hard to see a shiny present & not open it. We don’t put them out until Christmas eve because my kids have no patience lol they’d constantly ask if they could open the presents. #abitofeverything x
Yes, I think that would have been the wiser move. This will be the first year that my biggest really understands the whole concept of presents so it’s never been an issue before. Live and learn! 🙂
Yes, blame on the cat! Smart kid! Fab poem, Kyles! Made me laugh – especially at Patience is a virtue? I don’t think so too but don’t tell my kids. #mg

I clearly have no patience because I put the tree up and the presents out weeks before Christmas. I’m worse than he is! 🙂
Haha…I think Christmas should be the exception. Thanks for sharing with #abitofeverything
