SANTA CLAUS.
Reading edition
Santa Claus came here last night On his flight. Down the chimney-top he flew: He had lots of work to do, Well he knew. So he heaped the stockings high, Said "Good-by." Now, of toys he had no lack: They were carried on his back, In a sack. What did little Flora find?— Flora kind. Why, a doll with golden hair, Candies, and a tiny chair, I declare! What did bright-eyed Georgie get?— Mamma's pet. Can't you guess? A tiny gun; But you see it's only one Made for fun. Here's what lazy Joseph found, Looking round. It was shocking! In his stocking, There was nothing, you must know, But a big hole at the toe! Lazy Joe!
George Cooper.
