Notes About The Poem

For the Christmas Song Parodies Poetry Contest ('Silent Night')

chaos

Listen to poem:

Frantic Night

Chaos reigns, oh, such a sight,
Kids are screaming, parents feuding fight.
Turkey is spoiled, oven's on strike,
Lightning struck, there's no light.
The Bliss is so forlorn
The Bliss is so forlorn

The dog pissed on the presents
One of many such awful events
The cat's stuck to the star
Its fur has begun to char
The night of hell is born
The night of hell is born

Tommy was chased, the table felled
All the food scattered expelled
The entrees landed in Granny's lap 
Just when she was taking a nap. 
Silent Night is torn to scorn!
Silent Night is torn to scorn!

Still the tree lights twinkle 
A glitter of joy a sprinkle
Despite the wrinkle and crinkle,
I hear Kris Kringle's tinkle
Frantic Night, Chaotic Night!
Frantic Night, Chaotic Night!
