Christmas present

Santa never gives to me

The gifts which I request

My kids get all the things they want

I get stuff I detest

There are novelty socks

A useful tool

The Christmas jumper

Far too small

Box of hankies

Monogrammed

Things never go

The way I planned

What happened to

My Cobra AC

Why didn’t he

Get that for me

There are other things

Upon my list

I think you soon

Will get the gist

Ferrari or a TVR

Or any other

Old sports car

My Christmas list

Is not extensive

I just want a car

that’s old

And expensive
