WAS the night before Christmas
when out in the road
Stood the old family bus, having lost its abođa. For the garage was empty and tidied with core In hopes Santa might have a new car to spare. The children wäre nestled all snug in their beds, While thoughts of convertibles danced through their heads: The Missy and I dreamed in front of the grate Of our next leave at home in a new Ford V-8. When out in the drive there arose such a roar That I spratig from my chale and rushed straight to the door. I threw back the bolt and peeped out in the night, And saw, with the moon making everything bright, A gift-laden sleigh 'swooping down from the stars, St. Nick at the helm, driving sight shiny cars! He swept around corners at breathtaking speeds, Calling out to his swift-running powerful steeds: "On CONSUL! Ön, ZEPHYRI On, CUSTOMLINE, too?" As down through the Christmas Eve darkness they flew; "Now, PREFECT! Now, ANGLIAI POPULAR! Now! Come MAINLINE! Come ZODIAC! Show them all howl" They drew nearer swiftly then silently stopped, And out of his vehicle Santa Claus hopped. He paused not a moment but to his work dashed; From trimming the tree to the stockings he flashed. While Old Father Christmas was busy inside,
I gazed at his coursers and longed for a ride. They had floated along with such grace and such poise, So easily pulling that huge load of toys,
That I thought on the instant how nice it would be To have a new Ford under our Christmas tree.
When Santa had finished, he sprang to his sleigh, Fressed once on the starter and darted away. But, thoughtful he circled 'round once, looking back, And his gaze travelled down to our old-fashioned hack. He had spotted the garage with doors gaping wide, And I saw a broad smile that his beard couldn't hide. Than as he sped onward, I managed to hear His tip for the season, the gift of the year!
"Try HARPER'S on Thursday
he called with a grin,
"They've got the best cars ~~
and they'll trade that thing inl
Then I heard him exclaim as
he drove out of sight,
Merry Christmas
to all,
and to all a good-night!"
