The old lady watched television,
Rocking closer for better vision,
The Commercial brought a toothless chuckle,
As you released her safety buckle.
“Them little dolls, they sure is cute,
Wasn’t like that when I was young, shoot!
Course I never got one anyway,
We was so poor, weren’t no way.
What I always wanted was a train,
But all my prayers went in vain,
Why, we couldn’t afford a Christmas tree,
Now that was sump thin I wanted to see.
When the Spirit of Christmas was in the air,
Bright decorations made it like a fair,
And Santa downtown in them big stores,
We’d tell him our wishes after chores.
