OW, I have caught you Santa Claus, Kriss Kringle or St. Nicholas, And you must tell me, tell me true, Which of these names best pleases you?”
“O-ho! my pretty little maid, I’ll answer true, O-ho!” he said.

Y wife, she often calls me hub, And, strange to you, sometimes just bub, No doubt you think me six feet, four, And that I weigh a ton or more, But when at home I’m rather small, Not near so large nor half so tall As when I visit girls and boys And load them down with pretty toys.”

OMETIMES she calls me darling, dear, ’Tis then I’ve nothing harsh to fear. Again her words come thicker, faster, They burn me like a mustard plaster. But I will not repeat the titles That rasp my ears and chill my vitals. Enough, I know she’s not to blame, And that she loves me just the same.”
