(A Christmas Story, 1983, starring Peter
Billingsley as Ralphie. It is Christmas
morning and Ralphie is wearing one of
his presents. “Aunt Clara had for years
labored under the delusion that I was
not only perpetually four years old but
also a girl.”)
DECEMBER 26
A BB gun.
A model plane.
A basketball.
A ’lectric train.
A bicycle.
A cowboy hat.
A comic book.
A baseball bat.
A deck of cards.
A science kit.
A racing car.
A catcher’s mitt.
So that’s my list
of everything
that Santa Claus
forgot to bring.
~ Kenn Nesbitt, born 1962, American poet
