How Leo came to Town.

How did our little Leo
Make his journey into town
Did he come on the back
OF a lazy Jack,
Like monkey, small, and brown
or did he ride on a dummy
That smokes long black cigars,
And screams at night
With all its might.
When it runs away with the cars
or did the bright sun bring him
On his long aud golden beams.
And sometimes creep
Up in his sleep,
And kiss him in his dreams9
or did the wild bees bear him
over fowery meadows sunny.
And stop In the clover
To taste him over,
And say The Ia sweet as honey
Or did he come in vessel,
That sails the seas on high,
Where softest gales
Blow the silver sails
Across the dark blue sky
or, perhaps, our little Leo
Made the journey fast and far,
In a big balloon
That WAS tied TO the moon,
Or swung to a shining star
Or did the beautiful fairies
That live in the wood, appear
At his very door
With q coach and four,
And fire-hies' lantern queer,
With butterflies for horses,
And a cricket small and black,
Who drives two span
For the little man,
Who sits within the hack
have found how he made the iourn
From his home so far away.
Santa Claus brought him here
With his two rein deer,
And he came on Christmas day.
