Twas the Night Before Christmas

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 !
