Surprising to me Clement Moore wrote more than one tale of Santeclaus! This one is much sterner!
Old Santeclaus by Clement Clark Moore
Old Santeclaus with much delight
His reindeer drives this frosty night
O'er chimney-tops, and tracks of snow,
To bring his yearly gifts to you
The steady friend of virtuous youth,
The friend of duty and of truth,
Each Christmas Eve he joys to come
Where love and peace have made their home
Through many houses he has been
And various beds and stockings seen:
Some white as snow and neatly mended,
Others that seem for pigs intended
Where e'er I found good girls and boys,
That hated quarrels strife and noise,
I left an apple or a tart,
or wooden gun or painted cart
To some I gave a pretty dool,
To some a peg-top, or a ball;
No crackers, cannons, squibs, or rockets,
To blow their eyes up, or their pockets
No drums to stun their Mother's ear,
No swords to make their sisters fear;
But pretty books to store their mind
With knowledge of each various kind
But where I found the children naughty,
In manners rude, and tempers haughty,
Thankless to parents, liars, swearers,
Boxers, or cheats, or base-talebearers,
I left a long, black birchen rod,
Such as the dread command of God
Directs a Parent's hand to use
When virtue's path his sons refuse.
Fixes FINALLY I had to RESTORE it to Explorer 10
Soup won't work right with Explorer 11
How's everyone doing with the Christmas rush?
