AN APPEAL TO SANTA CLAUS.
Hi there, Mister Santa Claus,
Hiking through the sky,
Careful lest you break the laws
Speeding swiftly by.
Better give your car a rest
In its onward flight
Come down here and be my guest
Just for Christmas night.
III show you a thing or two
You'd do well 20 see;
Little people-not a few
Waiting wistfully;
Hoping you will not forget
They are waiting there.
Doomed, i fear, but to regret
In the frosty air.
CHEEKY lot of little souls
You would find them all
IT, in seeking out your goals,
You should pause to cali.
There they stand all in a row,
Wondering whats the hitch:
Wondering why it is you go
Solely 'mongst the rich.
They would deem a bit OF cheer,
Tiny though it be,
Sign that, when the Yule is here
With it's songs of glee,
They were not forgotten; sign
Sent them from above

largely proceeds from small griev-
