NATASHA’S TALE ‘Twas the night before Christmas Oh no that’s not right. ‘Twas the week before Christmas Not a reindeer in sight. When Mummy and me Set out in the car To visit my Grandma It’s not very far.I was so excited ‘Cuz Grandma and me Have fun playing ball games And making the tea. But just then I started To cough and much more To bring up my breakfast All over the car. It got in my hair And it got in my shoes. My mummy couldn’t stop then The traffic’s bad news. Finally she managed To pull in and stop. She cleaned up the worst bit Gave me a new top. But when we arrived at My Grandma’s big house I felt and I smelt like A rat or a mouse. And then when I spied her My world fell apart. In the lap I should sit in And looking most smart Was a baby, and Grandma Was looking at herLike she looks at me most times. Then the baby did stir “Here’s Susannah” they all said And expected a smile. I hid my face from them And waited awhile Before I would let them Appreciate me. I felt I’d been ousted From my territ’ry Then luncheon was served I was so pleased to see That they had remembered Roast carrots for me. The meal nearly over The baby had fed I climbed to the floor And looked at her head. She was smaller and rounder And seemed like a dork. She couldn’t even eat With a spoon and a fork. But later my auntie said “Natasha let’s see If you and Susannah Friends can now be.” She made me sit next her Her small hands in mine And play row the boat It all seemed just fine. Then suddenly I found She was sitting on me. I held her most firmly She chuckled with glee. This cousin I had hated For taking my place Now showed me her good side She smiled in my face. Then soon it was time To pack up and go, But Grandma looked sad now She does love me so. “Be back soon,” I told her “And then we can play But maybe the next time Keep the other babe away.” Not that it matters Now I know that she Is really not up to The same things as me. She can’t even catch And she can’t even throw. And not any teeth yet I looked so I know. Mummy looked tired As we waved our goodbyes We won’t see them again now ‘Til after Santa’s surprise. And I heard mum say As we drove out of sight Merry Christmas to All And to all a good night.
