The Family Fight Before Christmas

"Who done did that?"
      My dad had to know

   I pointed at sister
      Said, "She has to go!"

   Dad wasn't impressed
      Told me, "You get undressed!"

   As off to the woodshed
      We two did go ... 

   Once there, bottom bare
      I thought fast, though voice weak 

   "Hey, dad. It's nearly Christmas ~
      How 'bout we turn the other cheek?"
