CHRISTMAS WISH.

| wish that good old Santa
Would travel like show,
And to his tent of playthings
For nothing let me go;
And take along my stockings,
To fill in laughing slee
With all the things he fondly
Hangs on the Christmas tree.
I'd see the pasteboard camel
Wink at'the kangaroo;
I'd see the china wombat
And quagga chsse the gnu;
I'd see the rubber ostrich
Serenely wink his eye
To see the monkey capture
The peanut on the fly.
And then I'd see old Santa
With all his books of rhymes:
I'd grab him by the whiskers
And kiss him fifty times,
And on his back go riding
Beneath the fairy dome,
And with a lot OF playthings
Go running gaily home.
lis then think old Santa
Should up and so away,
And in some other village
Put up his tent next day;
And then go on still further.
And further still and still,
To let all lovely children
Their great big stockings fill.
'Twould then be always Christmas,
All musical with joy,
And bending tree and turkey
And hobby-horse and toy
For while upon his travels
Old Santa'd scatter cheer;
He'd make a Christmas somewhere
Each day throughout the year.
