'twas a Night Before...

'Twas a night before Blue Light Specials, when all through Ebay Not a bargain was found, not even an iPod The stockings were empty and coupons in disarray In hopes that Uncle Sam will bring me a rod The children were angry: "We want our money!!!" With visions Three Dimensional dancing in their heads I, mamma, in my 'kerchief pulling hair looked so funny Had to get second job selling relaxing, cool beds... When out in the driveway arguments and loud chatter I sprang out of my office, see neighbor and Repo Santa I went out to calm them and asked what was the matter "Need to get his wheels", said he while drinking a "Fanta" And away Santa flew, ere he drove out of sight "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night!" For Carolyn's Contest: "Commercialized Holiday Humor Contest"
