COUNTING ON ST. NICK
Susan Jordan


One, two, three, four
(Count using fingers.)
Is that St. Nicholas at the door?
(Cup hand to ear.) 

Five, six, seven, eight
(Count using fingers.)
I hope St. Nicholas won't be late.
(Look at watch.) 

Eight, seven, six, five
(Count using fingers.)
Quick, he's coming--let's go hide.
(Hide face behind hands.) 

Four, three, two, one,
(Count using fingers.)
Look! A surprise--oh, what fun!
(Pretend to hold surprise in hands.)
