A SMALL ORDER FOR SANTA
This is all that I expect .Santa Claus to bring to mo; One large boat—my old one s wrecked, One lovely Christmas tree; Then 1 need a larger drum. That says boom instead of turn , And I want a nice long whip That will make our tomcat skip; Then 1 hope to get a ball • That will dent the hardest wall; And a bat that will not split l£v’ry time that it is hit.
Next I’d choose a' pair of skates Just as nice as Sister Kate s, And a bright large monoplane That will carry ragdoll Jane; Then I’d like a lot of things That are run by hidden springs Bats and spiders, and the like, And I need a brand new bike, With a coaster brake that will Make work easy down a hill. There! That’s all I ask him for. Still, I’m hoping (since he s Dutch) That he’ll bring a few things moreAs I have not asked for much. ■-St. Nicholas Magazine. . V/ . V
