Listen to poem:
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the night 
Santa and reindeer flew into the light  
not a gift went amiss not a sound did he make 
as he slid down the chimney and arose with a quake  

with siffoned soft whistles and gregarious tee hees 
he placed down the gifts just before the big flee 
too late for retrieval soon he was caught 
by a little wee tot who abandoned his cot 

May I call you Kriss Krinkle he asked with a lisp 
made you some cookies, bit burnt, but their crisp 
soon they were wrapped and then tucked in His sack 
alongside the toys, they went clickety clack 

Oh crumbs I must go, Mrs. C wants me home 
she covers them good with some chocolate Arome 
no worries my lad, next year burn some more  
my reindeer love burntys, cuz it helps when they snore !
