The Stocking
In my stocking I find:
A jingling bell,
A new pair of pants,
And three walnuts as well;
A candy cane speckled with chimney soot,
An orange,
A book,
And – at last – there’s my foot!
A jingling bell,
A new pair of pants,
And three walnuts as well;
A candy cane speckled with chimney soot,
An orange,
A book,
And – at last – there’s my foot!
