T'Was the Day Before Christmas

T'was the day before Christmas
Not a moment to spare
Last minute shopping
Not a parking spot anywhere
Ice and slush covering the ground
New snow falling everywhere
Gift to be purchased and wrapped
A bike to assemble
Turkey thawing in the sink
Pies in the oven baking
Children hyper and underfoot
Hubby sampling the rum balls 
And getting sloushed
The dog chased the cat up the Christmas tree
Balls falling everywhere
Someone knocking at the door
Children screaming
Dog barking
Cat meowing
"I've hat it! No more can I take!"
Not a sound could be heard
They all skattered like mice
For it was havndling everything
That gave me my Christmas Breakdown
