IIS CHRISTMAS AT RED BRIDGE
IPs the days before Christmas and throughout
RED BRIDGE STABLES , All our creatures are stirring — fearing snow to the gables .
The OCTOBER SALE over — we all gave a cheer ! And now hoping the SPRING SALE soon will be here .
Our WALKERS are nestled all snug in their beds , While visions of WINNING dance in their heads .
And PART KIRK in his boots , and JIM FOSTER in
coat . Look them all over and just have to gloat .
When down in the STALLS , they hear such a clatter , They race from their coffee to see what is the matter .
Away to BAY WITCH they do make a dash — They find he ' s O . K . — now that one ' s a FLASH .
SON ' S TIM TAM is gazing out on the snow , What a WALKER he is , he ' s just born to SHOW .
When what to their wondering eyes should appear , But a minature sleigh with ' 66 COLTS — they are dear .
With a mustached driver so lively and zaney , They knew in a moment it must be DOC BANEY .
More rapid than eagles our WALKERS they came . And he whistled and shouted and called them by name :
“ Now , EBONY ' S GO BOY ! Now , SECRET ' S SPRITE ! Now , BLUE SECRET and SECRET ' S MERRY
KNIGH ! ON , SECRET ' S SHOW BOY ! On , SECRET ' S BELLE ! On GO BOY ' S HEIRESS and SECRET ' S BOMB-
' SHELL !"
“ To the top of the roof to the top of the STALL , Now , dash away . Dash away ! Dash away , all !"
Ac CHAMPIONS that before keen JUDGING fly , When in COMPETITION , carry their MOUNTS to the
So ufto the ST ABLET OP the WALKERS they flew
, ■ , 1 .. 11 nnA BOC BANF . V t . nn
And then in a twinkling they heard on the roof The unmistakable prace o fa real WALKER ' S HOOF .
As they drew in their heads and were turning around . . . Down from the roof DOC came with a bound .
He was dressed all in fur from head to his foot , And a bundle of PRIZES were peeping out from the loot .
His exes _ how they twinkled ! His dimples — how merry ! As he paused to greet our SUN ' S BLUE FAIRY .
His droll Utile mouth was drawn up like a bow , And he gave a quick pat to SUN ' S GLORY O .
As he raced around he looked like a twister , And dropped off a PRIZE for SETTING SUN ' S
SISTER .
He hurried along to MELODY ' S GINGER ALLEN , Dumping out OATS — it must be 10 gallon !
He was chubby and plump on a right jolly mission When he bestowed a PRIZE on JULIA ALLEN
WILSON .
A wink of his eye , a reach in his pocket And out with ' a PRIZE for CIRCLE T . JET ROCKET .
He spoke not a word but went straight to all STALLS , And delighted WHINNIES soon filled the halls .
To LADY OF MIDNIGHT he moved with a whirl , PRIuES for all — POLLY BLAINE and BLACK
MERRY GIRL .
While stopping to pet all friendly noses . To our MIDNIGHT SECRET he presented
CHAMPION ROSES .
He sprang to his sleigh , to his team gave a whistle , And away they all flew like the down , of a thistle .
But they heard him exclaim ere he drove into the night , “ HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND ALL FRIENDS
OUT OF SIGHT !"
