AGE 99.) And into patient chimneys of children who were goodFell naught at all, or possibly some bits of splintered wood !The children bad were boastful, the children good were grieved,And Santa Claus was frantic that folks were so deceived. So, naughty, naughty youngsters with gifts on Christmas… … Please picture how it came to pass in spite of Christmas laws,And much against the purpose of poor old Santa Claus;And such a dreadful mix-upwill neer take place again. FOR SALE (S. Claus the owner) : one large new aeroplane!
