A Soup Bowl Full of Christmas

Listen to poem:

Twas the night before Christmas, when all thru the Soup bowl, Not a poet was writing, not even the musing mole. All their pens were hung by the chimney with bubble gum, Hoping Winged Warrior would lose and let them win some. The poetesses were nestled snuggled in their beds, With visions of their makeup now surely spreads. While Silent One was awake only took a silent nap, Waking Bobby May, who finally took his crappy crap. Noises from the lawn where SOS was making such a clatter, He was speaking in Klingon about the Borg mad hatter. I then slipped by the window and dropped my hash, Tore open the cupboards to hide the stinky stash. Brenda Chiri & Susan Ashley were making angels in the snow, For they were locked out from the bowl and had no place to go. Lin Lane & Jan Allison got up early to make some grub, Then left extra early to go to the local pub. Brandy Nicole and Anne-Lise were looking at the moon, While the Bard and John Hamilton were playing a chilly tune. In the morn, Heidi Sands & Connie Wong were ready to write, Dreaming of winning a contest all through the night. Charles Messina & Chris Green having an eggnog beer, As St Victor Buhagiar feeds the lazy reindeer. A knock at the door and all started to stare, Why its newbies Midnight Aurora and Hello There. Now Gershon! now, Andrea! Now, Besma and Regina! On, Sandra! On, Kimmy! On Caren & down under Maria! Next time bring deodorant for it smells like a horses stall, I need some fresh air, fly my pretties fly away all. ...sorry, if I left anyone out...will get you next time!... ~~~Happy! Holidays! Everyone!~~~ Nov.20.2019 The Night Before 2 Sponsored by: Joseph May Placed 2'nd & POTD~Plus 3'rd in the top 100 New Poems...Thank You

WW and Curtis were at a jigging contest to determine which one could jig the best . The judge declared the winner to be a snotty nosed brat from Nashville, Tennessee. So the Warrior and Curtis vacated the site wishing all a Merry Christmas and a pleasant good night.
