What does Santa bring for daddies,

Too old to want a toy?

Wallets, watches, ties, and sweaters

Don’t make for much joy.

 

What do daddies want for Christmas,

Really, in their hearts?

So perfect that they’d shriek like kids

Once the shredding starts?

 

Oh, Daddy! Is there anything

You want beneath the tree?

Other than, of course, to watch

Me open gifts for me?
