Underneath the Christmas tree
Santa left a note for me.
It said, 'This year you'll get no toys
Because you've been a naughty boy!'

I thought and thought about the year
As I wiped away a tear.
What was it I'd done so bad
That left me now feeling sad?

I've helped with all the tidying up,
Washed the plates and cleaned the cups.
How can I have been so naughty
When I'm the Dad and nearly 40?!?
