Greta is the name, Margaret Muirhead is the poet, and as usual she gives us more of her personal poems at this time of year.

Dear Santa

Dear Santa I'm not greedy
So I don't want a lot
And as I'm not too fussy
I'll settle for what you've got
It really doesn't matter
Just any little thing
Like a golden locket
Or a diamond ring.

A Chauffer driven car would be nice
For I've been very good
I've just listened to all my friend's advice
Just like a lady should.

So Santa look into your sack
See what you've got for me
I'll leave a Christmas-pie for you,
Beneath my Christmas-tree


A Good New Year

Christmas and the New Year
Over now at last
Decorations packed away
As I've done in the past
Another Year before me
One that's filled with Hope

My New Years resolution
That with difficulties I'll cope.
Gone are my frustrations
For things I cannot do
For when those days appear
I'll hand the tasks to you

I'll face the World with a smile
Knowing you are near
And should I lift the Telephone
Can guarantee that you'll come here.
Should I ever run out of Milk
I will grieve no more
For you are sure to bring it
When you walk through the door

Things I suddenly remember
You've thought of in advance
So for a Perfect Smooth New Year
On You I'll Take My Chance !
