The nurse, all bewildered, was fretting and grieving, The children in concert, were retching and heaving; They kicked, and they twisted, and they squirmed all about— She was sure ‘that their stomachs were turned inside out “Oh, I’m so sick! I shall die of this pain, I’ll never touch Santa Claus’s candy again.” Poor Ma, in a flutter, threw up her sad eyes, Little Bob, with a splutter, threw up his mince pies. And St. Nick, who was peeping, cried out with a titter, , “In every sweet there’s a drop that is bitter; But cheer up my children, you’ll soon be all right,” And cracking his whip,' he was soon out of sight. The q-ies were over, and all went to bed, Sweet slumber soon fell upon each dizzy head. ' The life blood again freely coursed in their veins, And dreams of St. Nicholas danced through their brains. With a smile they awoke, from their visions of bliss, As Mamma on each rosy lips planted a loss. And they vowed that, iif spite of all sickness and pain, * They'd hang up their stocking next Christmas again.
