I BAKED A CAKE FOR SANTA CLAUS ONE CHRISTMAS EVE AT TEA.
FOR IF RIDING MAKES ONE HUNGRY, HOW HUNGRY HE MUST BE.
I PUT IT ON THE PANTRY SHELF WHERE HE'D BE SURE TO GO,
I THINK IT DOES A FELLOW GOOD TO BE REMEMBERED SO.
THAT NIGHT, WHEN ALL WERE FAST ASLEEP, EVERYONE BUT ME,
HE TIP-TOED INTO MAMA'S ROOM, JUST SO STILL TO SEE, IF HE HAD BEEN THERE YET
DEAR ME! IT MADE MY FEELINGS ACHE,
THERE SAT A LITTLE MOUSY EATING SANTA'S CAKE.
THIS WAS LEARN BY MY MOTHER WHEN SHE WAS 6. SHE IS NOW 78 AND HAS TAUGHT IT TO 8 CHILDREN, 24 GRANDCHILDREN AND
32 GREATGRANDCHILDREN.
