HE KEPT ALL HIS TOYS BUT ME

HE KEPT ALL HIS TOYS BUT ME

Santa Claus brought the power saw
But he bought himself the rest
A John Deere tractor
Top of the line, the best;
He bought a new rider
To cut the grass, you see
But saved the old push kind
He kept all his toys but me.

He bought the latest tools they make
And built a new garage
Just to put them in
Alongside all his cars;
One day a van delivered
A dog house with a key
Yeah, he even bought a dog
He kept all his toys but me.

And when they began to rust
He just bought some more
Bigger and better ones
From a ritzy, hardware store;
And when the dog was older
And sometimes got a flea
He made it all better
He kept all his toys but me.

Now he's old and all alone
The dog has passed away
He cannot use the tools
Because every other day.....
He is on dialysis
And can no longer see
I wonder if he regrets
He kept all his toys but me?
