9.       Skittls and socks

Last year for Christmas I got

A new pad, as I had so many scribbes to jot

A new shirt that now has a little rip at the top

But this year, given the op-tion

All I really do want

Is a little or lot

Of time to think and plot

My plans for next year. See what it brings as you watch

I gotta get a glimpse at the top

Honour the kin that I lost

But if you’re buying…

What I'd really like are skittles and socks
