'Twas the ____ Before Christmas

‘Twas the book before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a platypus was stirring, not even a mouse.

The whales were running all snug in their beds,
While visions of spinach danced in their heads.

Then out on the park there arose such a clatter,
I ran from the chair to see what was the matter.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a miniature phone, and ten funny reindeer!

With a funny old soccer player, so swiftly and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney Jason Bourne read with a bound.

He spoke not a toot, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the animals; then bit with a jerk,

And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the bathroom he rose.

And I heard him wrestle,
ere he pounced out of sight,

“Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!”

'Twas the ____ Before Christmas

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

‘Twas the apple before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a llama was stirring, not even a mouse.

The clowns were moving all snug in their beds,
While visions of cow pies danced in their heads.

Then out on the woods there arose such a clatter,
I rode from the bean bag to see what was the matter.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a miniature hair brush, and 1224 disgusting reindeer!

With a awesome old volleyball player, so unfortunate and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney Orland Bloom bit with a bound.

He spoke not a foghorn, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the hairs; then heard with a jerk,

And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the bathroom he rose.

And I heard him copy,
ere he held out of sight,

“Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!”

'Twas the ____ Before Christmas

‘Twas the Santa before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a deer was stirring, not even a mouse.

The elves were running all snug in their beds,
While visions of brussels sprouts danced in their heads.

Then out on the playground there arose such a clatter,
I talked from the couch to see what was the matter.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a miniature present, and four pretty reindeer!

With a fast old soccer player, so slowly and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney Taylor Swift walked with a bound.

He spoke not a squeak, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the strawberries; then sang with a jerk,

And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the door he rose.

And I heard him yell,
ere he yelled out of sight,

“Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!”
