Twas the Night Before Christmas Re-Post

*Just having fun with a re-post of a poem....because Fall is arriving and the holidays are coming :) Twas The Night Before Christmas Heidi Sands Avatar Twas the night before Christmas, an icy storm came about Santa was landing, when there was a loud shout He toppled out of the sleigh and hit his head Then, “Happy Thanksgiving” could be heard from him instead! Then, Santa dreamt Turkey were pulling his sled! And that hunters were shooting at the leader turkey Ted! Instead of “Ho, Ho, Ho”, “No! No! No! , could be heard! Christmas was derailed with every single word Thank God for Rudolph with his nose so very bright Led Santa to the doctor on this wild stormy night The doctor treated him with care so fast Santa took off quickly with his head in a cast But, little Johnny had not gone to sleep He stood looking out his window without making a peep When suddenly, he let out a curdling scream! His parents thought he had another bad dream “A ghost, a ghost” he yelled, pointing outside! His parents rushed to look, “Oh my”, they replied! Unrecognizable Santa, in his big head cast, Was speeding by in the dark very fast When suddenly, the cast came flying off on a tree Then they could see, “It’s Santa”, they yelled with glee! Thankfully, Santa was completely alright The cast was just protection from another fall that night Everything turned out as it was meant to be Now, the cast is an ornament on that tree Heidi Sands 11/25/18 *Placed 2nd in The Night Before Poetry Contest.
