SANTA CLAUS VISITS ADAK
Away from the cities in the icy Aleutians,
Far from everything except the Roosians
Lies a windblown island austere and remote
Approachable only by plane or by boat.
A very bleak spot, at least at first glance,
or gal dry, trees and romance
Ignored by radio, TV and press,
Yet three thousand people have an Adak address. v ''
You may fee neglected.? but we ask you, please don't
Uncle :Sann may forget us, but Santa Claus won't.
He's been here already and he'll be back, ri
Sant's set up:asTOYLAND■on the isle of Adak.
He parked his sleigh on a snowy mountain range
Then made many trips to the Navy Exchange,
He's been just as busy as a man can be
And left lots of goodies for you and for me.
Thefrfc' are toys for children, who live very near,
And for others far away, whose Dads must stay here.
It's a place of enchantment in this land so-wild -
Magic if you are (or ever have been) a child.
For helpers, Santa brought his favorite elves
Who busily filled our Toyland shelves.
Such a wonderful world full of fun and toys ' \,
■'For all of Santa's .good little girls and boys! -
Just after he left, Santa sent us a letter
Suggesting that bad little children be better
We mention this now so they can take warning
And get ready now for a bright Christmas morning.
Santa would have stayed longer, but had no time to roam,
He's headed back now for the North Pole and home
With his elves, his reindeer, empty sleigh and pack •
But he left us this messages "Merry Christmas, Adak!"
