A Short Christmas Poem

As the time of year that everyone buys presents for everyone else, mostly because they feel they have to, I remember that when I was a kid, I had to write a poem for English class at school, for some competition or something. As christmas was approaching, I thought I'd theme it around that.

I lost the hard copy of the poem ages ago, but I'm going to whack it down here for you, as much as I can remember. I can't even remember what i called it. And yes, it IS supposed to be that shape. More or less. And this was made at a time when i actually liked christmas, and got excited about it.

I
put
up the
christmas
tree some time
in November. I just
can't wait till the 25th of
December. Lot's of presents 
under the tree, and half of them 
are just for me!

That's all i can remember. When it was complete, it was obviously in the shape of a christmas tree. It was so good, i was chosen to get published in some book for up and coming children poets or something. But i forgot to hand the form back in and it didn't get published. I don't know whether it was the content, or the fact it was christmas tree shaped, or both. Ah well. That's what blogger and other blogging sites are for i suppose.
