A Christmas Tale

[nycwriters]

Merry Christmas everyone .. in the spirit of the festive season, how about our own unique Christmas poem? I'll start off with the easy part :)


'Twas the day of Christmas
And all through the house

[trisherina]

'Twas the day of Christmas
And all through the house

We ate, and ate more,
Leaving crumbs for the mouse.

'Twas the day of Christmas
And all through the house

We ate, and ate more,
Leaving crumbs for the mouse.

We opened up presents,
Made a mess on the floor

[nycwriters]

When what did we hear,
but a knock on the door

[Marcus Bales]

We looked through the peephole and what did we spy?
A man with a warrant. He growled "FBI"

I stood there, dumbfounded, hands dripping with batter,
And asked him just what in the heck was the matter.

[nycwriters]

He said that they'd "observed" us being critical of Bush
angry, the youngest jumped up, and said "you can kiss my ..."

At that the young imp raised his toy gun of black up.
The G-man called out on his ra'dio for backup.

Homeland security arrived with a bang
and after some "persuasion" everyone sang.

They ratted out Santa, and implicated some elves.
They felt kind of rotten, but looked after themselves.

[nycwriters]

The Prez had been spying on all us good folk
An invasion of privacy -- and it wasn't a joke

[xfox]

What can I say, I wanted a Christmas story
now nothing but dread
better move over to a
Debate Hall thread

[nycwriters]

The snow was a falling outside Santa's shop
Everyone was quite busy when Winkie yelled "STOP!"

[Coffee]

"We got a change order, I doubt it'll be liked,
Homeland security wants all the toys Mic'ed".

[Brynn]

so off they all scampered, went straight to their work
as Santa just sighed, then turned with a jerk

[Coffee]

at who next appeared to his astonished eye.
It's, Donald Rumsfeld; the new workshop QI.
