From The Best Poems of Christmas, compiled by Edward A. Bryant
THE CHRISTMAS PIE
"Come, guard this night the Christmas Pie,
That the Thiefe, though ne'er so slie,
With his Flesh-hooks don't come nie
To catch it
From him who all alone sits there,
Having his eyes still in his care,
And a deale of nightly feare,
To watch it."
