Why santa Claus Was Late.

Dear little Robbie jumped out Of bed with bound
And hurriedly ran TO his stocking, and found
Oranges. candy and nuts, knife, and close by a
sled.
''ohl Oil Keer' was what Robbie said.
It's Just what wanted, and it's painted red;
Now I'll ride down hill. and draw in the wood,
And help mama a lot, ;" like a good boy should.
What did Santa Claus bring you. mama?' he said.
As he climbed up by her there on the bed.
Santa Claus forgot mama | guess. sweetheart
Never mind mama, I'll give some to you"
Naughty Santa Claus"-o'er his face came a
frown;
He ran to the window and looked all around
For the Oot-prints Of the RENDERS there on the
ground.
There amt any marks" his voice filled with
Maybe Santa Claus couldn't bring all he had.
Cause, mama, there amt any snow"
There he stood. with his chubby face on his hand.
And seemed lost in wonder about Santa Claus
band
AZ last his face frightened. and TO her he ran:
Il guess, mama, he's stuck in the mud
But he won't forget; he'll come quick as he can"
Oh, dear little heart. may you ever through life.
See the bright star Of hope in its and strife
May its rays shine rightly in every dark state.
AS il did when you thought dear old Santa was
