AS HE SEES THE
HUMAN SIDE O'LIFE
GIVE KRISMUS SWAY
Sumtimcs I think In gitten old,
Dizeazed an' all knockt out;
An' then kums ol' December 'long
When the childern's lookin' out,
A-lookin' out fer Santy Claws,
An' a-eountin' ever day . .
Rite then I lay ru-matieks dpwn
An' give young sperit sway.
Shore, we'll all pass soon a-nulf
Then why give up an' pineT
This time o' yeer, when ever one
Shood have that sperit fine;
When Krisnius chimes an' pecple give,
An' childern shout an' play . .
Rite then I lay my trubbles down
An' give ol' Santy sway.
When "Merry KrismusJ" shout i.
h-yeard,
An' fokes then think uv others
Their f rends? Why yes an' others
too,
"Buds," sisters, dads an' mothers . .
Hit's then I want t' jine the ranks,
An' help fill out the day . .
T want t' lay my grouches down
Let Krisnius have full sway.
TO THE CHILDERN
Howdy, childern! 'Bout this time
last yeer tinkle Abe had a letter
'speshly fer the childern who reed this
kolyum reg'ler or have it red . . an'
now I want to talk to you aig-in.
You kno we heer a grate deel 'bout
Santy Claws this time o' yeer 'spesh
ly since the good little man is in
Waynesville rite now, an' haz bin
'round to sevril places in the kounty.
No dout moast uv you have seed him
at yore schools or in town. Well,
he's a jolly, good an' funny little man
aint he? An' I reckon he's thinkin'
about little childern neerly all the
time , , smilin' when he remembers
they air good an sorry when he noaz
they air bad. He's thinkin' about
you'uns all the time while he's in his
ice-cold headquarters at the North
pole . . . az he saws an' hammers an'
glues yore toys t'gether yes, sir-ee!

Now, when Unkle Abe wuz a boy,
he didn't have the privilidge uv teein'
him an talkin' to him face to face
like you childern do today. I alius
tinted to see Santy an Indeed,
tride awful hard to git to see him,
but coodn't!
Besides, we didn't have so nienny
toys an' nice things like you all have
today; fokes wuzn't in the habit uv
givin' mutch, then thar wuzn't so
menny nice things to give. Course,
we injoyed Krisnius . . havin' Santy
to come, shootin' far-crackers, setry

childern have menny things to-day
that we didn't have.
