IT WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE
CHRISTMAS (ALMOST)
It was the night
before Christmas
And all through the
house
old Max was tipping
over everything,
while chasing a big
mouse.
The Dad of the house,
usually serene,
had turned into a
Monster, who was very mean.
He swung at the mouse
with an Andiron Poker,
which turned the fire
place into a great big smoker.
By now Max was
chastised, his head between his legs.
It looked like
forgiveness. He had stated to beg?
Then the back door
flew open, and in stomped Meg.
Tell me I am in the
wrong house she started to beg.
Grandpa set by the TV
asleep, so it seems.
Then one eye popped
open, and he let out a scream.
“Where is my
Jitterbug, the phone that I love.”
“Meg said, Look out Gramp,
it’ falling from above”.
As the phone hit the
floor, with its incessant ring
Someone said, “turn off that blasted thing”!
Meg. hurrying,
stumbled and fell on her nose,
And now there was red
stuff all over her clothes.
There was a large BOOM
and the door did fall.
Then the people inside
started to yell.
The police told Meg it
was not blood, just cranberries.
The door rang again
and Meg. Answered it and yelled----
DAD IT’S THE HOME TEACHER’S!!!!!
