This is a repost 'Twas the month before Christmas When inside the house The housewife was quiet There's no sound, not even some grouse When all of a sudden There arose such a clatter Even the Chihuahua came running With tail tucked and, in a chatter, Our grandson came running faster than Santa In his magical sleigh We all converged in the hall with this to say Was that my husband, Pawpaw or ??? Dear 'ole Claus who arrived to stay We sprang into action Found the backdoor jammed Ran out the front Found Pawpaw whammed! He had crash landed And not on the roof Driving grandma's sleigh He tried to enter the den What was wrong with him? Grandma's wheels now undrivable Pawpaw embarrassed with this feat unsolvable Tail-tucked Chihuahua scared out of his wits Don't any of them know what to think of this Well, when it is all said and done My car was towed away The den's damage surveyed All the cost we still can't say It has taken a toll on everyone I think we need to go play Nerves all jangled Heart beating fast Sleep eludes me Somehow soon It will all be in the past Thank you, God For your protection I could have been in the den In the push-button recliner total relaxation The car could have kept going That would have been a horrible end, my friends!!!

Thank you, Kim. We could laugh later but not when it happened. It was cold November, and we had a hole in the house. Sara K

Dear Sara, What a great story, and it made me smile, but I also realized all the things that it would take to fix it. You are a great storyteller! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Well, I do better with retelling a true story than making up one. LOL..My husband has neuropathy in his feet and in his hands and he thought he had the car in reverse and when he stepped on the accelerator the car lurched forward and he could not get his foot on the brake in time to stop the crash into the house. Thanks for the visit. Sara K
