Three Things Challenge: rattle, holiday, tone

Rattle, please?

Once upon a time
there was a little boy
who had a special wish
for just one special toy.

He asked to get a rattle
for a holiday gift
he never whined or begged,
never made one riff.

When holidays did come
and toys were meant to share
the little boy was happy
no nasty tone, nor care.

And so he got his toy
because he was a gem.
His house is full of toys
he’ll share each one of them.
