Santa's Visit--By David Fox--United States

Santa's Visit

A boy asked his mother if he could meet Santa Claus

He said he had "just cause"

"Well", said his mother with a little cheer,

"Maybe you'll get to meet him for the first time this year."

The boy stayed up until his eyes were red

Waiting for Santa until his mother said,

"It's time for bed"

A little later he heard a "Ho! Ho! Ho!"

So, he ran downstairs as fast as he could go

He thought he saw Santa or was his mind playing tricks?

When he only saw a glimmer

Because Santa was too quick

He left a note saying "Keep up your cheer;

we might get to meet for the first time next year."
