(....it could happen....)
....'twas the night before Christmas.......and all through the forum,
not a creature was posting.....a silent sanctorum.
The stockings were hung on the nails in the hall......
the wreath found a place o'er the hole in the wall.
The kids all were fussy, and whiny and such.....
they'd had lots of candy.....entirely too much.
The presents were wrapped, what few that we had....
those terrors called "children" entirely too bad!
A noise in the yard awoke me in fear.....
"the zombies are coming.....I'll get my gear!"
I peeked out the window, no lights in the house....
I saw nothing moving, not even a mouse.
Hearing a sound, I crept up the stairs.....
hoping the scratching was only of bears.
I pulled back the curtain to take me a look,
and saw it was Santa, reading a book.
He looked so ashamed; he'd finally been caught.....
"You moron!" I shouted....."you nearly got shot!"
"Now get your butt moving, get back in your sled.....
deliver them presents, while I go to bed!"
Off like a rabbit he jumped in his sleigh.....
while I softly muttered.....
"Crazy elves, anyway...."
I never did see any critters that night....no zombies, no bears.......
they kept out of sight.
Back into bed, the blanket on "10".......
A noise down the hall.......
"Oh, crap.......Not Again!!!!"

Y'all have a merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!
