Dearest Darling Santa Claus,

I'm writing you in tears,
I haven't wanted anything
This much in many years.

I've tried to be so well behaved
all the whole year through.
Please overlook the tantrums I had
before I wrote to you.

I need a Christmas miracle
I know it's lots to ask
But with a bit of faith and luck
you can complete the task.

I've tried everything that I know how
to do this thing myself.
If you need, feel free to bring
a team of several elves.

I've left you out a plate of treats
and quite a lot of milk,
but if I could I'd leave you gold
and high-yield bonds and silk.

For priceless is the gift I seek,
I only ask for one.
Oh, Saint Nicolas, live up to your name
and potty-train my son?
True story.

Ooooh, greatest Christmas wish ever. Did Santa live up to his rep? My four-year-old's proving potty resistant, too.
