Is headed straight for Della Carr;
But people say he seldmon brings
A trunk and all those other things.
You know these countless kidlets
clothes,
The bonnets, blankets, bibs and bows

Which makes folks say 20, amt he
cute?"

Are sending out this little call
To Dellas friends, so they may meet
And help to make her Joy complete"
