REFRESHMENTS FOR SANTA CLAUS

“It may be late and stormy and cold

When Santa Claus reaches our street;

And Santa, you know, is very old,

So I'll leave him something to eat.”

“And what do you think he would like, dear heart,”

“Something nice and sweet,” she said;

“Jelly and jam, and a cranberry tart,

And a teenty piece of bread!”

So there on the sideboard is Santa's feast,

Which her own small hands have spread;

Jelly and jam,— three kinds at least,

And a tart — but where is the bread?”
