Coal in Stocking for the Bad Kids<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There was once a little boy
\nWho his mother would always scold
\nThough he was her pride and joy
\nHe was always very bold.<\/p>\n

Santa came every year
\nBut he never brought him toys
\nHe gave him a lump of coal
\nThats given to all bold girls and boys!<\/p>\n

\nSanta had to bring so much coal
\nIt kept the family warm for the year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
