Poem
‘twas the night before Christmas at this North Carolina farm, The chickens were cackling, so the roosters, they’d charm. Never had I discerned how the stars could reflect such calm, It almost seemed like God was writing His Christmas psalm. As I lay down in my bed to rest my thoughts and take a nap, I heard the roosters crowing because of the bright giftwrap. Though I was certain that their mates would still lay an egg, Memories of dinner haunted with thoughts of the last chicken leg. Finally, I tumbled out of my bed and went to the kitchen, I decided to leave Santa eggs so the hens could all pitch in. Scrambled and boiled, they were a pretty sight on that dish, And it wouldn’t be long before I was making a Christmas wish. Hoping old Saint Nick would leave me some tractor fuel, So I might work through dawn with that handy jewel. I headed to my Christmas list, to write down oil and gas, But was left with a heavy pen when I saw that empty milk glass. Santa had already been to the farm, and left me some tools, But these shovels and rakes were more fit for strong mules. I couldn’t possibly make it another year without some petroleum, Therefore, I made my way across the kitchen linoleum. Chickens and roosters, cows and mules, all the farmer’s friends Remember that Christmas when Santa left so many odds and ends. There was no doubt, Christmas was bringing out the best in him, Because as I fell into a deep sleep, I heard him singing a hymn. Christmas psalms would last forever here on this farm, We need not worry, there is always hope and no need for alarm The God of love, came down from above, to remind Santa Clause… Jesus is the reason for the season – Christmas’ true cause!
