'Twas the HousePets! before Christmas

‘Twas the HousePets Before Christmas

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through Babylon Garden,
Not a creature was stirring, not even ‘ole Marvin;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hope that their owners would soon be there;
The pets were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Pridelands danced in their heads;
And Grape in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled in for a long winter’s nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
Grape and I arose to see what was the matter.
Away to the window we flew like a flash,
Went too fast and smashed through in a crash.
I struggled to my footpaws in the evening snow,
Grape thought for sure it was 40 below,
When, what to our wandering eyes should appear,
But a small sleigh, and dogs dressed as reindeer,
With a little young driver, so sour and complaining,
Both Grape and I thought it could only be King.
More rabid than beagles his pullers came,
And he screamed, and shouted, and called them by name;
“Now Rex, now Fox, now Kevin and Fido!
Oh Tiger, oh Miles, oh Daryl and Bino!
Watch out for that porch, look out for that wall!
Please slow down, I’m about to fall!”
Grape flinched at the racket, I almost closed my eyes,
As King and his ‘nappers seemed intent for the skies.
So up to the house-tops the maniacs flew,
With a sleigh full of toys, and King too.
And then, with a creaking, I heard on the roof,
Skidding and pawing, and a rather loud “oof!”
As Grape and I climbed back into the den,
King tumbled down the chimney, the only one to fit in.
He had ash in his fur, from his head to his foot,
And he yelled many obscenities about the taste of soot;
A bundle of junk he flung from his back,
“Take them all, I just want to hit the sack!”
His eyes – how they twinkled! His gaze so scary!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His big, cute ears were drooped all low,
And the fur on his chin was frosty with snow;
Stray twigs from the ride stuck in his fur like a wreath,
While his cold torture showed itself in his chattering teeth;
He had an annoyed face, and stubby lil’ leggys,
That shook when he sneezed, the snot like jellies.
He was short like a stump, a good ride for an elf,
And Grape laughed when she saw him, along with myself;
A glare from his eye and a scowl on his head,
Made me realize I had much to dread;
He spoke not a word but went right to work,
Filling our stockings and calling Bino a jerk;
Then sneezing again and covering his nose,
With a tug on the line, up the chimney he rose;
He staggered to the sleigh, from his team came a whistle,
And off the roof they fell, like a dud missile.
But I heard him complain, as he fell out of sight,

“Merry Christmas to all, now let me call it a night!”

you, sir, have a real talent!
Bravissimo! This should be printed on a card with the roof scene!

This is, without a doubt, the greatest little poem that has been written here, I think. I haven't gone past page three in this forum. Anyway, you are awesome for this. I can't believe that you came up with this!

Thanks, Barkeron. But would you kindly call me, like, Nayl or something? I would hate for someone to read your post and mistake me for the actual Naylor!
