The line went on forever
weaving arround the store
I was so excited
I'd dreamed of this day for weeks.
Finally it was our family's turn.
My sister got to go first
because she was the oldest
I thought that was unfair.
She sat on his lap
wispering in his ear
hogging the spotlight as always
Santa gave her a candy cane.
Than my brother got to go
and he too took forever
than my cousins went.
They all got a candy cane.
Finally, it was my turn
right before closing time.
But Santa and the elves were talking
there were no candy canes left.
I felt like I was going to cry.
Why do these things always happen to me?
Santa saw me then
and he scooped me into his lap.
When I told him what I wanted
he gave me something even better.
Since he was out of candy canes
he gave me his Santa hat!
My sibilings and cousins were so jealous
but they had wanted to go before me
that was their choice.
For once, being last paid off.
