Merry Christmas! (A poem)

'Twas the night of Christmas and all through the home

Not a creature was stirring except for the garden gnome

Hubby was sitting at his desk in his cave

Painting his models for the first time in days

After cleaning up the kitchen from the dinner we threw

I settled in for a long soak in the bath that I drew

When out of the dark there arose such a clatter

I ran down to find Egg had broke the ham platter

Still Santa had done his good work for the night

And there was no Krampus to give us a fright

Still reeling from the thoughts of the books in my head

It was time to don jammies and climb into bed

But before the light dims at the end of the day

I wish you all a very Merry I wanted to say
