The RequestClara G. Cornell Dear Good Saint Nick, I’m ‘fraid my nameIs not upon your book,‘Cause lots of times I have been badSo it’s no use to look. But, Honest Injun, I did tryOh, awful hard, to be:A little darling,” but, you see,It wouldn’t work with me. I think it’s ’cause when I was born,The fairy passed me by.You know — the one who makes folks good,So they don’t have to try.
