It was the night 
before Christmas
"Bah HumBUG!!" I said,
I donned my pajamas 
and crawled into bed.

The spikes in 
my chimney 
were sharp as a pin
I fully intended 
to do Santa in.

Four bulldogs 
were watching 
'the flames 
with great care,
in case Santa wore 
fireproof underwear!

The wolves 
on my rooftop
were ready to eat, 
eight misguided reindeer
right down to their feet.

All the children who slept 
with sweet dreams in their heads
would wake to find nothing 
when Santa was dead.

Then what to my skeptical 
eyes did appear.....
but that 'orrible fat man
had snuck in from the rear, 

His reindeer were parked 
so that 'they blocked all escape..
and me bulldogs were munching
a HUGE Christmas steak!.??!

His big belly shook 
as he giggled with glee,
"Now Scrooge you will see
How nice Christmas can be.
""Tonight through the magic 
my elves gave to me,
I'll turn you into a gift
under Tiny Tim's tree!"....

"Ho-Ho-Ho- HoHoHo"

The instantly under 
his magical touch
he transformed "ME" into
a small wooden crutch,

All packaged and ribboned
in bright green and red, 
Imprisoned till morning 
this Box was me bed 

"BAH HUMBUG!!" I cried,
from my cardboard cell,
"On Prancer, On Dancer," 
I heard Saint Nick yell.

Christmas morning 
came quickly
with giggles of Joy,
and me package was 
openend by a 
small crippled boy...

And the need in his life 
for this gift left its mark
as tears fell from his eyes
on me cold, wooden heart.

And I knew in that instant
that christmas was real...
A great time to express...
all the love that we feel.

The next thing i knew
i was back in me bed,
with two arms and two legs
and a much wiser head..

So i ran to the window
and hollered with cheer,

"Merry Christmas to all
and a Happy New Year !!..

On that night 
before Christmas 
that i now hold so dear..
