Unwrapping the book in rhyme...
The bump on Santa's noggin
Started throbbing, was a pain.
How did that big lump get there?
Santa rubbed it once again.
Milo was forgetful,
Milo always left a mess.
All his things were scattered
Causing danger, causing stress.
Santa slipped on Milo's toy
Down he went kerri-splat!!!
Darkness it surrounded him
He just lay there .... flat!
When he awoke he was confused
His head how it did sting,
He did not know just where he was
Or who he was, poor thing!
He asked police, a doctor man
A firefighter too,
They were very helpful
And gave him many clues.
Finally a teacher came
And tugged on his white beard
Santa lit up like a light
I'm Santa Claus he cheered!
He hurried off to his home
And left Milo a note,
"TAKE GOOD CARE OF ALL YOUR THINGS
IT'S IMPORTANT TO"....he wrote.
