A CHRISTMAS STOCKING

Though Christmas is far off, we know,
It wouldn't be so shocking
To put a nickel in the toe
Of your Christmas stocking.

Since February's the second month
You'll put in two, you see.
While March, the 3rd month of the year
Will call for nickels three.	

With April over, you will have
Four more nickels than you had.
Now comes the pleasant month of May
When five more you will add.

Six in June, seven in July,
See how your gift is growing?
In  August, there'll be eight more
Into the stocking going.

September nine, October ten,
Eleven in November.
December calls for nickels twelve
You surely will remember.

Your Christmas nickels now are ready
Count seventy-five in all,
Or should you put a few more in 
We wouldn't mind at all.

Now bring your Christmas stocking
(Be sure you don't forget!)
To the regular Christmas party
And make it the best one yet.
