The stockings he fills with a genuine joy, And pours out a blessing on each girl and boy. Then listening a moment, he turns on his toes And quick as a flash up the chimney he goes. He springs to his seat, sets the motor to purring, Calls out "M-e-r-r-y Christmas!" to any one stirring: Then off to the next house he speeds on his wtW-- And so through the night to the break of the day He scatters behind him full many a treasure And fills all the hearts of the children with pleasure.

But righting himself with a dextrous turn That any professional one might yearn To imitate--"Ah," he remarks with a grin, "That's glorious; now for a good tail-spin !" He spins him around like a sinking sloop-- He volplanes down and he "loops-the-lo/m"; Right side up and then upside down, High in the air and then skimming the ground, Then near to the earth you could hear him call. "Kriss Kringle is here! M-e-r-r-y Christmas to all!" Then he clambers again to the sky-blue dome And hurries his aeroplane straight toward home.
