Twas
the night before Christmas
And
outside the house
The
cat brought home a present
A
sweet furry mouse
The
fire embers were glowing
Beckoning
the pair
Mouse
settled on the hearth rug
Cat
in comfy chair
Pink
toes and fur quickly thawed
Soon
they were snoring
Distant
sleigh bells were tinkling
Sweet
Dreams until morning
The
quiet night time shattered
Hooves
screeched - scraped - bells crashed
Santa
and sleigh on the tiles
To
chimney he dashed
His
sack full and so heavy
Next
time not a bike
Elves
memo go make Lego
Don’t
care what kids like
Fairy
was shaking with laughter
He
fell on the floor
Silly
jolly red faced man
She’d
opened the door
Leaving
the sack by the tree
Presents
for all it hides
Nice
not naughty on this list
Santa
glows inside
Milk
in a glass oh goodness
Wish
it was brandy
But
I’m in charge of a Sleigh
Stated
rather grandly
Rudolph
was stamping his feet
Quick
let’s get going
It’s
hard to park on a roof
When
cold and snowing
With
a snort and a jingle
Santa’s
sleigh took flight
Guided
by Rudolph’s red nose
And
stars shining bright
Mouse
awoke and stretched his legs
Home
time through the snow
From
his whiskers fell a crumb
Secrets
does he know
He
reached the door turned to wave
Fairy
gave a nod
Cat
uncurled and swished his tail
Mouse
gave the door a prod
Was
it Santa whom they saw
Or
dreaming every one
Happy
Christmas my dear friends
To
all have lots of fun
Beverley
