T'Was the Day Before Christmas

T'was the day before Christmas Not a moment to spare Last minute shopping Not a parking spot anywhere Ice and slush covering the ground New snow falling everywhere Gift to be purchased and wrapped A bike to assemble Turkey thawing in the sink Pies in the oven baking Children hyper and underfoot Hubby sampling the rum balls And getting sloushed The dog chased the cat up the Christmas tree Balls falling everywhere Someone knocking at the door Children screaming Dog barking Cat meowing "I've hat it! No more can I take!" Not a sound could be heard They all skattered like mice For it was havndling everything That gave me my Christmas Breakdown
