Dear Santa Claus,
I do want some toys.
But I have some questions,
as do other boys…
~
Why do you have a beard?
Why eat the sweets?
Why are there always cookies?
Why not smoked meats?
Why do you wear a suit?
Why does it have to be red?
Why do you wear a hat?
Why are you not already dead?
Why do you fly in a sleigh?
Why not a red sports car?
Why do you visit children?
Why do you live so far?
Why do you give out lumps of coal?
Why not bloody chainsaws?
Why do you have a wife, but no kids?
Why is your name ‘Mr. Claus’?

I’m not bein’ rude,
No, I’m not plunderin’.
But here’s my address.
(Just in case you’re wonderin’.)

Here we go with a review! I really like the informal style of this piece. No major grammar issues that I could find. The questioning nature of a child is a timeless subject; and you put that on display beautifully here. Exactly like every smart, inquisitive child that's ever existed. Haha. This was an amazing piece of work! I look forward to reading more of your work.

Hey SnazzyPencil! CHRISSY321 stopping by real quick with a little review.

I really loved this! It was so cute, and I can really imagine some little smart kid with a smart mouth just asking all these things. It is so cute! The fact that this child asks all of these intrusive questions, and still leaves an address is just plain out funny. It's like 'Hey, I question every decision you make, but still bring me stuff!' XD
Okay, one mistake I did see:
"Why are they always cookies?"
Did you mean 'Why are THERE always cookies?'
Or you can change the wording and just say "Why do you always have to eat cookies?" or something to that extent.
I really enjoyed this! Thanks so much for sharing! <3

Thanks!
I'll fix it right away!
makes it sound like Santa's always a cookie... xDHey I loved reading this it reminded me of when I was younger asking my parents all about Santa. The rhyming made me love it even more, and the ending was awesome.
Thank you!
Hey, I'm super exited to read this

I loved this it was super cute and funny. Your rhyme scheme was good. It had a very nice flow to it. I saw no grammatical errors which is lovely. I also think that it is true for little children. I babysit kids who ask me questions about Santa all the time. Overall this was amazing 10/10 I can't wait to read more of your work
Bye, Have a nice day!
P.S I love your username!
Hey there, This is ElephantGirl with your review
that was great.
This was absolutely amazing. Lol I wanted to share it to Facebook, I did not however. I really am wondering how you thought of such a clever idea to write about? It made me laugh and it also got me thinking that I might write something for Christmas. Thank you so much for writing this amazing poem. The flow was well established and I could practically hear the little boy talking
Hi SnazzyPencil!
Cool name! just for the record that was a funny, cute poem. i don't know if you meant a tinge of sarcasm or it's just me but you asked the questions that we all have in our ind but are too afraid to ask. it's the Christmas season, u don't want to be in the naughty list. Your questions id asked actually by a really young child it will show innocence and a hint of confusion. But i feel that you ask these questions because at times Santa is too good to be true.
Your questions about where he lives, what he wears and what he does etc only show that Santa is a figment of children's imagination. To keep it alive people have molded it to a solid form and given it specific characteristics. Hence the beard, red suit and North pole. These are the factors that pop up into your head when you think of Santa. I feel that people at times create such figments as it brings happiness and joy. For example Christmas would be extremely boring if a hearty HO! HO! HO! is not heard any where. its things like these that give us temporary happiness and make us forget the gloomy things.
Maybe you had a different perspective when you were writing it but from what i read and thought i feel there is a conflict between sarcasm and genuine innocence.
Keep up the good work!
Hi, Hope here for a review! Okay, first off, Great job! I loved your idea! It's really cute! It was funny, too. I started laughing at some of the lines.
Second, Congrats! I found few or no grammar errors! That is something to be proud of!
Third, I think a lot of people ask these questions, surprisingly. (Like my younger sisters
) Anyway, Thanks for sharing your poem! It's a great one and I bet I'm the first of many, many people to enjoy it.
Keep it up!
Hope Summers
