Dear Santa,
I am just a little mouse, I'm quiet and so shy...
My Mama says I'm awfully good, I know I always try!
I make my bed, I sweep the floor, I hang up all my clothes...
I never fuss, I clean my plate and always wipe my nose.
I would like some tasty nuts and berries oh so sweet...
A wind up car, a woolen hat and slippers for my feet.
A boat that sails, a bouncy ball, a horse that neighs and rocks...
Some peppermints & bubble gum, a pair of red-striped socks.
But Santa please remember the little mice so sad...
The ones who have no nice warm homes, no Mama dear, no Dad.
Maybe I should ask you now to give my gifts away...
To wee ones who are hurting so & forgotten how to play.
I have enough dear Santa & I think that I should share...
With all of those who need my help, to show them that I care.
For many mice go without and feel so by themselves...
They fear they are forgotten by you and all your elves.
Please give a toy to bring a smile to each sad, little mouse...
Some Christmas cheer to bring some joy to every tiny house.
