Naughty or Nice?

SSSSSHHHH!
Don't tell a soul.
It's my letter to Santa

Up at the North Pole.

He thinks I've been good;

That's not quite the truth.

But I'm asking for lots,

Do you think that's uncouth?

I'm better than Tommy;

He sat on his brother.

Much better than Alice,

She barked at her mother.

Suzy doesn't deserve much;

She broke line at school.

Mason did much worse;

He said spitting's cool.

So compared to that tax collector

I think I've done swell.

Just don't compare me to Jesus,

Cause I'll deserve. . . .well, you know.
