The Naughty List effect (Senyru)

Ahhh....poor Tommy....this is a sad little piece.
Great job!
Take care

I never got a bike either,

mmmmm, now I know why.

thanks for opening my eyes,

Ha! Simply charming. a few short words summons a great deal of memory and wishful thinking of shiny new chrome and boyhood freedom...at least that is what a bike was for me as a child.

Michael - a perfect senryu here about the consequences of a naughty year!
All the very best,
Ben

Hi Michael,

In these days of severe crisis, lots of children will be crying there eyeballs out after Santa has paid a visit, most especially when they assume they must have been 'bad' to not see their wish granted.
For parents Christmas is a difficult time, when means are few and wishes of their off spring are big. ( and lots of peer pressure on them as well!)

Well done, much more to this poem than meets the eye.

(((hugs))) xx
