Twas the night before Christmas There was silence throughout Not a whisper was heard, Or a murmer, or shout
When out of the silence Came a piercing sound A whinny and Ho-No Santa had hit the ground
His sled doubled over His reindeer let fly Scattered into the distance, Leaving Santa, to die
'Twas at that one moment That Johnny awoke And out of his window Saw fire and smoke
He donned his night gown His shoes and a hat And saw lying on the road Somerhing red. Something fat.
He asked 'you okay?' Santa managed a groan Johny spoke with a sigh: 'I guess I'll take you home'
He helped Santa back home Johny told him his name But Santa had to make A big insurance claim
With a sled on it's way Both relaxed and were calm They talked of their lives When Johnny thought, with alarm
'A sled with no reindeers Could surely not fly?' 'I'll see about that' Was santa's only reply
He blew on a whistle Which did not make a sound But soon we heard the rumble Of feet on the ground
And all 7 reindeer Returned hard and fast, not 5 minutes later A lorry drive past
The lorry was large And opened it's large doors And there sat a new sleigh For old Santa Claus.
Santa stared in delight, Tied his deer to his sleigh, He salvaged his sack And could soon be on his way
But just before leaving As thanks to kind John, Santa plucked from his sack A present that Johny could open at dawn
Then with no time to lose His new sleigh took flight 'Merry Christmas' he said 'And to all a good night!'
