Jenna's Jargon

The Circle T Version of Twas the Night Before Christmas
By Jenna Thomas


'Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring,
because I'd already trapped the mouse;


The stockings were hung on the TV stand with tape,

Because we don't have a chimney for our stockings to drape.
The Chocolate children were curled up at the foot of our bed,

While visions of beggin strips danced in their heads;


Sean was in is recliner and I was on the laptop,

I was blogging, He was a snoring, and just wouldn't stop.
When running and barking the dogs came with a bounce

Letting me know a stranger had arrived unannounced.


Away to the porch I ran with my broom

Ready to swing if a burgler did loom.
The moon cast bright light on the Circle T Ranch

And scary shadows were cast from a nearby branch


"Sean, come look,  I'm scared!"  I yelled in his ear

And he jumped up and looked outside to see 8 buck deer!
He ran to get his gun so fast and so quick,

He didn't notice it was really reindeer pulling St Nick!

I tried to warn Santa, "Get away! Sean will shoot!

And he hollered at his reindeer, "Let's get outta Here, Scoot!"

"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!
Dash away quick or you'll be on Sean's Wall!"

Sean appeared in the doorway ready to Kill,
But Santa's team had already flown over the hill.
But I heard him exclaim, as he flew out of sight,

Merry Christmas to you, but NO presents tonight!
