The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

What my Class Want for Christmas

What my class want for Christmas
Is a whole new box of glue
A teeny, tiny pencil
And for me to tie their shoe

What my class want for Christmas
Is a rubber with a face
Or even one that's snapped in half
And thrown around the place

What my class want for Christmas
Is a trip to toilet town
Or a drink every half a minute
And a wet blue paper towel

But what I really think they want,
The whole entire class,
Is for someone just to notice them
Is that too much to ask?
