The Long Chase

He chased the lovely lady

but she played hard to get.

Although she liked him,

she intended to be coy

about her intentions and

make him guess whether

she liked him or not, and

to earn her love. This, of

course, drove him mad, but

he was a determined fellow.

He would chase her to the

end of the earth if need be.

So he kept after her until

they reached the North

Pole. Then he proposed

to her and she said yes.

They got married in front

of a bunch of odd-looking

small people and some

creatures with horns. He

placed a special ring on

her finger, making her

Mrs. Claus. And Santa

was a very happy man.
