| Listen, Kitty, while I tell you
'Bout old Santa Claus. Stop your purring, lie real quiet, Fold your frisky paws. Are you ready? Well, in Greenland Where it's always cold, Santa has a big toy garden Full as it will hold Of doll-trees and doll-clothes bushes, Little cradle vines, Thimble plants and needle grasses, Ribbon elms and pines; Little wash tubs on the willows, Little wringers too, Little stoves and little dishes, Doll-beds white and blue. Everywhere there's lots of candy, Even on the ground; Candy rats and mice and rabbits Running all around. When its Christmas Eve Old Santa With his deer and sled Brings us lots and lots of presents After we're in bed. But tonight he's coming early,___ O the things he'll bring! Listen! You can hear his sleighbells Ting-a-ling-a-ling. __Harry Edward Mills. |
