I told Mr. Santa I saw a toy
That would substitute just fine,
A teddy underneath my tree
Instead of a cat that climbed.

I took the toy and played with it
And no matter how I tried
I couldn't keep from opening it
To find what was stuffed inside

Now Christmas time has rolled around
And as I wait beneath the tree
I think that I shall have some fun
With all the Teddies, just for me.

Merry Christmas
