(If you're quiet, we'll visit their workshop.
When you see it, you'll hardly believe
How busy the brownies are.  Will they
Be ready by Christmas Eve?)

"It's O.K.," says Santa Claus gaily.
"Just don't let the brownies see!
We'll watch them making cookies-
They're as busy as busy can be.

"They are mixing big bowls of batter
Made of milk and eggs and flour.
Rolling and shaping and cutting
Hundreds of cookies an hour."
