My dog plays invisible Frisbee.
He catches invisible balls.
He rides an invisible skateboard.
He hurdles invisible walls.

My dog has perfected the practice
of doing invisible tricks.
He jumps with invisible jumpropes
and fetches invisible sticks.

He barks at invisible mailmen.
He growls at invisible cats.
He’ll bring me invisible slippers
and even invisible hats.

He chases invisible squirrels
whenever we go for a jog.
He’s clearly the greatest dog ever.
I love my invisible dog.

A dinosaur for Christmas
is the only thing I need.
It doesn’t matter if it’s slow
or one that’s built for speed.

A massive one, a tiny one
or one that’s in between.
A dinosaur that’s muddy brown
or bright and shiny green.

I don’t care if it’s big and tall
or really old and ugly.
I don’t care if it’s rough and tough
or soft and cute and snuggly.

A spiny one will do the trick.
A scaly one is fine.
As long as it’s a living, breathing dinosaur,
and mine.

I promise if you bring me one
I’ll never ask for more,
That’s all I want for Christmas:
just one single dinosaur.
