It didn't need a plug

Or any batteries at all

I'd woken in the morning

(Santa was my mum)

I'd usually join the others

But this thing kept me on my bum

It contained, I think, twelve pieces

Blue, yellow, black and red

The shapes began with C+T

And it really got in my head

There were so many solutions

I never found them all

It sometimes seemed so easy

Mostly drove me up the wall

Just a stocking filler

Brought upon a whim

I can almost hear her now

'Oh, that'll do for him...'

But on that Christmas morn

They could have kept the other stuff

This cheapie little pressie

Turned out to quite enough

I haven't seen it in ages

It just seemed to disappear

And despite an endless search

It won't be seen again I fear

So can you tell me what it is

In this little guessing game

I don't even know myself

C+T was it's only name

Perhaps one day I'll find one

And for now the trail is cold

But I will keep on searching

For this stocking filler gold...
