Jittery glittery tree
A mouse ran up the Christmas tree Scaring the life from the fairy Cat did too, with dog in pursuit 'Twas a fiasco and quite hairy. Fairy's heart raced seeing the chase The dog bit the cat on the bum The tree lights flashed, the tree it crashed And cat had the mouse in a scrum. Poor fairy flew off, nerves were shot It wasn't how a Christmas should be She cared not a jot for this lot Her intention was to seek peace. The lady of the house rushed in To find what was making the din Kids lovin’ home movie herein Were sent to bed with a warnin' Mother had to clear up the mess While dad took the cat to the vet Mouse ran away from the affray Mice who have laughed last, laugh best.

WoW! Belle, I could just picture the whole scene ( minus the fairy, but who knows?)with the dog and cat doing a high speed chase. The poor fairy didn't what to do. Good rhymes and content. Truly, I enjoyed the read:-) Alexis
