A Classic Revisited
'Twas the night before Christmas,
And throughout Billi's place,
Only The Spare was stirring,
With his sweet cherub face.
He played with the manger
Tucked under the tree.
'Twould warm the heart
Of any Grinch to see.
When all of a sudden
Straight upright he sat
And started putting people
Inside Santa's hat!
Mary and Joseph
Went in with the sheep,
Plus the wisemen and shepherds --
The hat was so deep!
Even baby Jesus
Was plucked from the manger.
Sent by our Lord,
But he couldn't escape danger!
To take the whole lot,
That naughty boy dared.
Only a puppy
And an angel were spared.
He ran to the stairway
And shouted with glee,
Holding up a small shepherd
For his Auntie to see.
I sat staring, helpless
And glued to my chair,
As the kidnapper flung them
Up to the top stair!
Down fourteen tall steps
The poor victims fell
And lay at the bottom
In a heap all pell-mell.
And I heard him exclaim,
Through a torrent of giggles,
"Enough of this crap.
It's time for The Wiggles!"
