Poem Title:
Poem
'Twas the month before Christmas When inside the house The housewife was quiet There's no sound, not even a grouse When all of a sudden There arose such a clatter Even the Chihuahua came running With tail tucked and in a chatter Our grandson came running faster then Santa In his magical sleigh We all converged in the hall with this to say Was that my husband, PawPaw or ??? Dear 'ole Claus who arrived to stay They sprang into action Found the backdoor jammed Ran out the front Found PawPaw whammed! He had crash landed And not on the roof Driving grandma's sleigh He tried to enter the den What was wrong with him? Grandma's wheels now undrivable PawPaw embarrassed with this feat unsolvable Tail-tucked Chihuahua scared out of his wits Don't any of them know what to think of this Well, when it is all said and done My car was towed away The den's damage surveyed All the cost we still can't say It has taken a toll on everyone I think we need to go play Nerves all jangled Heart beating fast Sleep eludes me Somehow soon It will all be in the past Thank you, God For your protection I could have been in the den In the push-button recliner total relaxation The car could have kept going That would have been a horrible end, my friends!!! This happened this past Wednesday night at my home. That was on November 17, 2021. I have not been getting out much since the COVID outbreak and my husband went out to go to church then the next thing I knew the above was what happened. We are okay. No one hurt just scary, expensive and we still don't know what we are facing with all the repairs. Definitely not as bad as the picture. He said his foot slipped off the brake and hit the accelerator and he hit the house before he could get his foot back on the brake.
