Ponies:

she asked
Santa
for a pony
because
she thought
little girls
were
supposed to

Christmas
morning
came
the pony
came
she could
hardly
contain
herself
she was
so happy
she probably
could have
cried

sure
she asked
Santa
for a pony
but she
didn't really
expect
a pony

she didn't
have
any pony
food
or bedding
or a shovel
to shovel
pony poop
with

she didn't
have
a barn
to put
a pony
in
or a brush
to brush
the pony's
fur

'don't
get me
wrong'
she told
Santa
in her
new
letter
'I really
wanted
the pony
and I really
liked
the pony
but
I was
wondering
could you
maybe
take it back

because
even though
I wanted
a pony
I don't really
need
a pony
and I certainly
don't know
what to do
with a pony
now
that I've got
one'

but
Santa
can't take
presents
back
it's not
part of
his magic

he can give
and give
and give
and give
but Santa
can't
ungive
a gift
