Henry Lucius Stout
By William Wallace
“I don’t believe in Santa Claus,
There ain’t no such a man!
It’s all a fairy tale, because
I know from cousin Dan.”
It was thus spoke by Henry Lucius Stout,
A boy aged eight I know.
His mother said, “You’d best watch out
You’re standin’ near the flu.”
Now Santa happened just to be
Upon the roof, right pat
A peekin’ down if he could see
Where Lucius Stout was at.
He heard those angry words
Stood up and shook his head,
And took his book and wrote ‘em down
Exactly what he said.
When Christmas morning came
And Lucius ran to see
What he had got, Alas, he found
His stocking quite empty.
Except a note that he pulled out
Instead of some fine toy.
“I don’t believe in Lucius
There ain’t no such a boy.”
