Like Mother Used to Wear



Old Santa Claus on Christmas eve
Came down the chimney black;
And when he saw her stockings there
    He started to go back.

“O. my!” said he, and o’er his face
    There came a funny smirk;
“II cannot put these presents here,
    There’s too much open work.”

And so he left a note which read,
    “Leave presents I don’t dare;
Next Christmas eve hang up some hose
    Like mother used to wear.”

   

Sept. 6, 1903
