Dear NADJA (Sinterklaas Poem)*

Dear NADJA,

After reviewing your good deeds, Sint has decided
That you've been everybody's good friend
That's why you get these presents
A candle from Egypt, carved with some ancient script
And a white plate to put the candle on
Or to put candies, cookies, and bonbon
The candle has many amazing functions
That you can immediately count on
Its unusual shape of pentagon, can be a nice decoration
As in the middle you cut it,
You get a beautiful replica of a pyramid
You can put it on the top of that white plate
And with great admiration your guests will look at
Its pointed top can be used as a weapon
You can stick it into the person
Who enters your flat without permission
You can throw it on the head of an unwanted guest
Who asked for food and drinks more than you could have dispensed
And of course if you want some romantic evening
You can keep it burning
Those are the reasons, Sint gives these presents
Sint hopes you will like it, and have enjoyment in using it
And if a year aheady, you are still a nice lady
Sint will come again to you!!
