A Christmas Poem

[Jim]

Folks, here's a little something I wrote a couple of years ago and wish to share. I hope you share it, too.

Enjoy.

T’were the night before Christmas

And all through the house,

I was setting up traps

To git me a mouse.

He done ate all the cheese

And most of the beans,

Then went and chewed

A hole in my jeans.

He’d sipped on my beer

And nibbled some jerky,

Then set his eyes

On my big Christmas turkey.

I hid and I waited

By the ice box door,

Till I seen him scampering

Across the floor.

With a hammer in hand

I leapt out to meet him

With every intent

To pummel and beat him.

With lightning speed

He dodged to the right

As I swung for his head

With all of my might.

As I missed my mark

To the bedroom he went,

Then I gave chase

With a deadly intent.

I yelled and I cussed

While chasing the creep

As my wife yelled out

“I’m trying to sleep!”

The ordeal had ended

With my energy spent

As out the back door

He gleefully went.

He turned and yelled

As he ran from sight,

“Merry Christmas to all

And to all, a good night!”

Good stuff, I love it.

Funny thing is I have been there only it ended up being a chinchilla.

TRUE STORY, and I live in washington State we dont have chinchillas.

Nice poem I like it. The other night I chased a possum around the barn with a hammer. I would of had him except I stepped on a cat and then tripped over the dog. Needless to say he got away this time.
