A little Christmas Humor
Okay, Twas the Night Before Christmas seems to generate a lot of different renditions, let's post a few....
Here's the starter:
'Twas the day after Christmas and all through the house,
Every creature was hurting, even the mouse
The toys were all broken, their batteries dead;
Santa passed out, with some ice on his head.
Wrapping and ribbons just covered the floor,
While Upstairs the family continued to snore.
And I in my T-shirt, new Reeboks and jeans,
Went into the kitchen and started to clean.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the sink to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the curtains, and threw up the sash.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a white little truck, with an oversized mirror.
The driver was smiling, so lively and grand;
The patch on his jacket said U.S. POSTMAN.
With a handful of bills, he grinned like a fox
Then quickly! he stuffed them into our mailbox.
Bill after bill, after bill, they still came.
Whistling and shouting he called them by name:
Now Dillards, now Sears, now Penneys and Kmart,
Here's Wards and Levis and Target and Walmart.
To the tip of your limit, every store, every mall,
Now chargeaway-chargeaway-chargeaway all!
He whooped and he whistled as he finished his work.
He filled up the box and then turned with a jerk.
He sprang to his truck and he drove down the road,
Driving much faster with just half a load.
Then I heard him exclaim with great holiday cheer:
ENJOY WHAT YOU GOT
YOU'LL BE PAYING ALL YEAR!

LOL!
Very astute JD! Yes, Raoul hinted HE wanted the BOLD type so I switched to this. Now he's complaining that instead of backing up from the computer he has to tilt his head to the right! Silly boy - all he needs to do is put something under the left side of his monitor! ROFL! Hmmm - maybe I should tell him that!
