Above the Oil Burner, Few stockings were placed, Faint hope that by Santa They soon would be graced. Most children were snug In their wee folding beds While visions of the morrow Danced thru their heads. The Fathers and Mothers Likewise in a grouch Had gone to their Patent convertible couch. When out on the asphalt I heard such a clatter. I looked out on Main street To see what was the matter. And there was old Santa So forlorn 'twas a shame. He had hitch-hiked from Portland And was tired and lame. And on the way down, He had run out of toys 'Twas a heartbreaking outlook For young girls and boys. For Santa took a tumble In the recent market crash. He couldn't buy his toys this year Because he lacked the cash.
