IT WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

       IT WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS




          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!!!!!
