Saint Nicholas, a 4th century bishop of Asia Minor, owes his position as Santa Claus to the legendary incident of his providing dowries for three daughters of a poor man by throwing purses of gold into their window on three successive nights. His name gradually evolved into
Santa Claus
Higgledy-Piggledy
Jolly Saint Nicholas,
Bishop of Myra now
Known as St. Nick,
Furnished those dowries so
Abracadabra-like
Children today will still
Dream of that trick.
