The Best Present
Saula brought a teddy To lake to bed with me, Belts of silv'ry metal That ring so cheerily. A fire-engine—all shiny, Willi hose and ladder, too, A bouncy hall of rubber, All red and gold and blue. And Santa brought home Daddy In soldiers' clothes so smart, And 'though 1 'joye,{ my presents, My Daddy's the BEST part. So thank you. Father Christmas, For all my presents fine, Hut thank you most for Daddy— That dearest Daddy mine —Original, by Lois Winter (16)
