They had gifts for each bought in the East
And they passed them round at the evening feast,
And then told stories for nights and days
About their trip and the city ways,
And the fun they had and the tricks they played
And the things they saw and where they stayed,
And last and best, the time they spent
In Washington with the President.
“They had gifts for each bought in the East, and they passed them round at the evening feast.”
