Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Complete Works of James Whitcomb Riley, Vol. 5 of 10 What "Old Santa" Overheard ´Tis said old Santa Claus one time Told this joke on himself in rime: One Christmas in the early din That ever leads the morning in, I heard the happy children shout In rapture at the toys turned out Of bulging little socks and shoes - A joy at which I could but choose To listen enviously, because I´m always just "Old Santa Claus." But ere my rising sigh had got To its first quaver of the thought, It broke in laughter as I heard A little voice chirp like a bird - "Old Santa´s mighty good, I know, And awful rich - and he can go Down ever´ chimbly anywhere In all the world! - But I don´t care. I wouldn´t trade with him, and be Old Santa Claus, and him be me, Fer all his toys and things - and I Know why and bet you he knows why ! - They wuz no Santa Claus when he Wuz ist a little boy like me!"
