It started with the cupboard under the stairs;
That was pretty safe for a few good years.
But as you grew and hide and seek you did play
The cupboard under the stairs, is where you would stray.
Then... we used the shed, you never went in there;
It was easy, all the gifts were hid without a care.
Not only were they wrapped and out of sight;
It was even easier to deliver on Christmas night.
No noise, or crashing in the hall, from the cupboard under the stairs;
But easy transportation from the shed to the tree over there.
But independence has loomed, and now you use the sheds;
To retrieve your bike or scooter, or to plant seeds in the veggie beds.
So this year I am at a loss, as to where to hide the gifts;
The brand new bike is in the neighbours garage, lets hope he won't go for a sniff.
What's worse is the grandparents this weekend are due;
They normally deliver a huge black bag or two.
So... I need a new super secret hiding place;
Just like the room of requirement, to keep out his nosey wee face.
So Harry Potter fans, please give me the spell;
To create a hidden room in this house that I dwell.
