The Night Before Christmas by Jim Nasium It was the night before Christmas and all over my house I saw little black pellets droppings from that damn mouse He's eaten the cheese I put in the traps seems all this mouse does is eats and craps I went to the pet store thought I'd buy me a cat one in excellent shape not flabby and fat I brought the cat home let him loose in the house then I went to bed prayed the cat would get the mouse I started to doze off drifting into a dream when I was startled with what sounded like a scream I put on my slippers and my house coat too went down the steps quietly not knowing what to do I flipped on the light and to my surprise I saw my new cat he had cuts over his eyes His nose was bleeding all his whiskers cut off he tried to mee-oww but all he could do was cough I picked him up sat down with him on my lap very carefully took his tail out of the mouse trap I knew what had happened that mouse won round one then I got an idea that should be great fun II. I went back to the pet store and bought five more cats a hawk and an owl and some albino bats The mouse was going to die and tonight was the night I hurried back home ran through a red light A cop pulled me over I told him my tale he didn't give me a ticket there was no need for bail I finally got home with all my new pets the mouse is as good as gone I'm taking all bets I made some hot tea and went back to bed visions of a dead mouse danced in my head Since I was so tired I feel asleep fast but to my disappointment my sleep didn't last A loud bang woke me something fell to the floor I heard such a ruckus like never before I put on my slippers knew what I had to do grabbed my saw off shotgun and extra shells too I went down the steps flying through the air I turned on the lights and no one was there The hawk ate the bat the owl ate a cat then they both flew away his belly real fat The cats were all missing but sitting there on the floor was the mouse laughing at me right by the front door Don't know how he did it but the mouse won round two it was late and I was tired so this battle was through My house was in ruins and I still had the mouse so I went to a motel I couldn't sleep in that house It was the night before Christmas I was sitting in a motel my home is destroyed I guess I'd better sell Jim Nasium My Art: http://www.gymart.com |

Re: Very funny!! I'm not sure we'll be reading this in front of our Christmas tree, but it sure brought a smile to my face today! Poet DeVine Thank you for your kind words about my silly poem... I can understand why you wouldn't want to read it around your Xmas Tree at Xmas time... Jim Nasium |
