Why I never got a christmas present: An international conspiracy

    While explaining a bit about christmas to a bunch of kids, they asked me if I ever got a christmas present in my entire short little life and that's where I came up with this. I'd opened an old school book of mine and seen all sorts of things scrawled on the pages...names of crushes, friends, enemies, random musings and some very impure thoughts in general. That's where I came up with the concept of what if books are actually nothing but pissed off trees which are trying to get even with us...and are now spies for Santa? What if they could read our minds like we can read them? I've never had very public-worthy thoughts in there anyway. Enough of my rambling, onto my creation...I thought some of you would enjoy this, it's got a Calvin and Hobbes touch to it:






    WHY I NEVER GOT A CHRISTMAS PRESENT: An International Conspiracy


    I think I've got the study blues
    I see it as I revise
    Spread through the pages are subtle clues
    that books are spies disguised


    They know the girls I think I like
    With whom I've fooled around
    They even know that little tyke
    I pounded into the ground


    tit-for-tat means books read you
    and mark you, just the same
    I ask myself what good it'll do
    And then it fits the frame


    Ever wondered how Santa guesses
    If we've been naughty or nice?
    'tis not chance, logic impresses
    That books are spies disguised!!!


    Year by year I spent those weeks
    Supressing the horns and tail
    I never guarded those imagination leaks
    which could embaress even those who sail


    And books, those poor trees I say
    Are out to settle the score
    And they get back by giving away
    Our deepest secrets and more.


    As I sit here wondering whom to blame
    I hit upon a plan
    Tomorrow, in my exam, I'll write my name
    And there I'll take my stand


    I'll refuse to write a single word
    Thats come from an exploited spy
    I'll call the examiner a stupid turd
    And refuse to tell him why


    A rebellion against this infernal system
    That cost me a million toys
    I'll burn these books in front of them
    And so will the other boys


    And so I put my books away
    Lock them all up tight
    Tomorrow is another big day
    The day I set things right

    hah! thanks a lot matey....I figured you'd get a kick out of this :) I,personally, thought that the last 4 verses especially could fit into Calvin's character.


    Have you read that book of his where the first little story is a rhyming verse about how he knows there are monsters under his bed and his parents think he's kidding and then what'll happen when he dies etc.?
