TWAS 'TWO NIGHTS' BEFORE CHRISTMAS: BY MADI AND MOM

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, WHEN ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING NOT EVEN A MOUSE



IN HOPES THAT ST. NICHOLAS WOULD SOON BE THERE. THE CHILDREN WERE NESTLED ALL SNUG IN THEIR BEDS, WHILE VISIONS OF SUGAR-PLUMS DANCED IN THEIR HEADS. 

AND MOM NOT IN HER'KERCHIEF, AND I IN MY CAP,

 HAD JUST SETTLED DOWN FOR A LONG WINTER'S NAP

 WHEN OUT ON THE LAWN THERE AROSE SUCH A CLATTER, I SPRANG FROM MY BED TO SEE WHAT WAS

THE MATTER

AWAY TO THE WINDOW I FLEW LIKE A FLASH.  TORE OPEN THE SHUTTERS AND THREW UP THE SASH.

THE MOON ON THE BREAST OF THE

 THE NEW FALLEN SNOW, GAVE THE LUSTER OF MID-DAY TO OBJECTS BELOW. 

 WHEN, WHAT TO MY WONDERING EYES SHOULD APPEAR, BUT A FREAK WITH A BEAK AND A BRIGHT BLUE HAT.  HE WAS NOT STEADY ON HIS FEET BUT WAS ABLE TO  TWEET THAT HE HAD LOST HIS TAIL FEATHERS AND COULD NO LONGER EAT.

 I LOOKED AT HIM HARD,

 EXAMED HIM LONG, AND FOUND, MUCH TO MY GLEE

THAT HIS TUSH WAS REALLY NOT FEATHER FREE 

 HE ASKED ME TO PLEASE GIVE HIM A FLIP

 SO THAT HE ONCE AGAIN HE WOULD BE ABLE TO SIP

TO THIS I AGREED, HE BID ME ADIEU,

BUT I HEARD HIM EXCLAIM AS HE FLEW OUT OF SIGHT....

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.
