Mimi and the Christmas Tree

Mimi  McFudge was her name, and she wanted a tree 
that would really make her Christmas glow 
so, she cut one herself and decked it from head to toe
but when it started prancing with bells and whistles too 
it began to talk like a chatterbox, it knew just what to do!
When bedtime rolled around it yawned, " Please shut the lights"
Articulate and bright it hummed all day and slept all night 
Every day at noon he gave Mimi a little nudge 
feed me feed me I'm hungry, then he'd shake and jiggle 
but he never budged ...
It went on for quite some time first the fruit then the nuts 
he even dared to ask for pouding and cold cuts. 
What she didn't realize was that a squirrel was living there 
and that the food wasn't just disappearing in thin air. 
It was being chomped, buffed & eaten by a bushy tailed spry one 
who loved to eat and photoshoot, he couldn't be undone 
so when Santa came sliding down the chimney 
he quickly took a snapshot then whispered, " Santa, its me "
