For facts and faith agree;
And other things are true because
Because they ought to be.
Some folks declare that Mother

And Captain Kidd are lies;
But children list to these old tales
And argue otherwise.
I've heard some foolish people say
That fairy tales amt so;
But I've met folks whO've seen them
And I guess they ought to know.
I've. even heard that Santa Claus
Is just a pleasant myth,
For grown-up folks at Christmas

To fool the children with.
