When Nels Yingle writes a jingle
He makes all our livers Jingle.
And We think of old Kris kringle
With sleigh bells all jingle,
With bingle, bangle, bingle,
And tingle, tangle, tingle,
ana a dlngle, dangle, dingle,
AND springle, sprangle, springle,
As he sits there by the ingle
Where the smoke and flames eommingle,
From Il backlog and shingle
Writing compound rhymes or single
In the style of old Bill Bingle
SO We doff caps to Ylngle
And endure his tangled jingle
Whether we be wed or single,
This is writ by Heinrich Hingle.
