All I Want for Christmas ...

Listen to Shaun's poem ...
All I want for Christmas is a dinosaur
A dinosaur?
Yes, a dinosaur!
A scaly friend with fangs who can stomp and roar

All I want for Christmas is a UFO
A UFO??
Yes, a UFO!!
A sleek and speedy ship that has a cosmic glow

All I want for Christmas is a Haunted House
A Haunted House?!?
YES, A Haunted House!!!
That’s haunted by the spirit of a wise, old mouse

All I want for Christmas is a deep sea beast
A Deep Sea Beast?!?!?
YES, A DEEP SEA BEAST!!!!
A slippy, slimy thing with twenty arms at least

But if you cannot find this stuff
I’m down on bended knee
To say all I really wanted
Is a comic book please ...
