'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!!!
