T’was the Night Before Christmas, 2009
By Randy Gage
Ok kids, it’s the special time of year again. The time when I usually butcher the holiday classic, “T’was the Night Before Christmas.” But last year I introduced a new twist…
Since we have the blog now, I opened it up and let YOU guys finish the poem. There were some delightful submissions and a lot of fun was had by all. So let’s do it again. And once again a fabulous grand prize will be awarded to the winner!
I’ll start the poem, and you guys come up with the ending. Whoever comes up with the best finish will win either:
A) $100,000 cash;
B) My Viper SRT;
C) A night of hot steamy sex with me; or,
D) Honorable mention in the next blog post.
The prize is determined by me, and all decisions are final. If you’re looking for C, better send pix! If you want to review last year’s entries, look here:
Now, let’s get to it:
The Night Before Christmas, 2009
(With profound apologies to Clement Clarke Moore and his estate)
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the U.S.;
The economy was tanking, and things were a mess.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care;
Hoping for coal, because the fuel tanks were bare.
The government health care plan wasn’t looking like a winner;
Resembling nine wolves and a sheep, voting on what’s for dinner.
The media had all the meaty issues it could handle;
Keeping their focus on the Tiger sex scandal.
When out on the lawn, arose such a racket;
And now dear reader, the rest is up to you…
