Meant to make my Christmas glad,
From each uncle, aunt and cousin
Best fellow ever had.
There's a keepsake from my mother,
Father sent check-and yet
am thinking of another
Of the one | didn't get.
There are gifts from all the fellows,
Pipes and things chum will send;
There's tie, all reds and yellews,
From a girl who calls me friend.
You would think me far from sighted
If you saw them all-and yet,
confess, I'm most delighted
With the one didn't get.
She told me it was ready,
Shed prepared it long before;
Id been calling on her steady
For at least year or more.
She told me all about it,
And her eyes with tears were wet,
ana M happy, never doubt it,
For that gift didn't get.
Her attitude was altered
When | called on her last night,
But my tale of love | faltered,
And | guess did it right.
And this little rhyme is written
Cause I'm full Of joy-you bet!
